Receive a presentation on the 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding allocations.
Body
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Housing Advisory Committee receive a presentation on the 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding allocations.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The HAC received a report on the Urban County CDBG program during its February 19, 2025, meeting. During the meeting staff was asked to return with additional information on how CDBG funds were allocated between the County and participating cities.
The allocation process used was:
1. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided current year estimates of CDBG funding for each city in the County as if they were entitlement communities.
2. One-year estimate multiplied by three to get estimated contribution to Urban County over three-year Joint Powers Agreement period.
3. 15% of three-year total taken off to fund public services.
4. 20% of County’s three-year total taken off to fund general administration.
5. 10% of participating cities three-year total taken to fund general administration.
6. 2.5% of participating cities, except Sand City, available three-year total added to Sand City total.
7. 2% of County available three-year total added to Sand City total.
The resulting funding is shown in Attachment 1: CDBG Funding Allocation.
