Council reviews supplemental appropriation to add $90,000 to housing trust fund for eviction diversion program
Summary
Staff proposed a supplemental appropriation to the housing trust fund to accept an Interact for Health grant for eviction diversion: $50,000 for a full‑time housing stability staff position through TOPS, $20,000 for a housing legal fund, and $20,000 for home communications.
City finance staff presented a supplemental ordinance to adjust 2025 appropriations to accept grant funding and allocate funds to the housing trust fund for eviction diversion and housing stability work.
Heidi told council the ordinance requests two changes: $16,000 in the general fund to cover the city match for a mobile robotics grant previously authorized, and $90,000 to the housing trust fund to implement an Interact for Health eviction‑diversion grant. Heidi said the $90,000 is split into three parts: $50,000 to fund a full‑time housing‑stability staff person through TOPS, $20,000 for a housing legal fund managed by TOPS, and $20,000 for a home communications program.
Councilors did not take a final vote during the presentation; staff indicated the supplemental ordinance will proceed through the normal second‑reading process.
