New Haven committee seeks immediate floor vote on consolidated plan and $6.27 million in federal HUD funds
Summary
A City committee recommended approval of the 2025–29 consolidated plan, the 2025–26 Annual Action Plan and a list of projects eligible for Connecticut’s Neighborhood Assistance Act, reporting federal program funding of $6,265,366 to be submitted to HUD.
A committee of New Haven aldermen reported that the city will submit its 2025–29 consolidated plan and the 2025–26 Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and sought an immediate floor vote to allocate federal program funds to local projects.
At a committee meeting, a board member said the city is “receiving a total of $6,265,366 in funds,” and that staff and participating agencies presented recommended uses and proposed amendments. The measures include lists of program proposals for eligibility under the Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act and requests to use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funds, as well as program income and reprogrammed prior-year funds.
The committee reported it heard from the city’s Office of Management and Budget and participating agencies and said it supports discharging the item from committee so the full board can vote that evening. Committee members asked for the item to be considered by the full Board of Alders during the same meeting so funding can reach agencies promptly.
The committee presentation cited federal statutes and programs as the legal framework for the submission, including the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and subsequent federal housing and homeless assistance statutes. The transcript lists federal public laws in the reading of the resolution; the committee speaker identified program authorities and the plan years to be covered by the consolidated plan.
The transcript excerpt records the committee’s recommendation to move the item to the floor and to expedite a vote; it does not include a full-board roll-call vote or detailed project-by-project allocations in the excerpt. Committee members emphasized getting funding to local agencies and noted amendments made during committee deliberations. The Office of Management and Budget was identified in the discussion as a presenter but detailed budget line items and agency-by-agency funding amounts were not specified in the excerpt.
