Summary
The council adopted the consolidated plan and annual action plan for the city’s Community Development Block Grant program, allocating funds for homebuyer assistance, critical home-repair rehab and partner public-service activities.
Morgan Cloward presented Layton’s HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) five-year consolidated plan (2025–2029) and the 2025–26 annual action plan to the council on May 15. The plan outlines how the city will use federal CDBG allotments for the next program year beginning July 1.
Cloward highlighted two program priorities: homebuyer assistance (the plan proposes assistance for eight households) and an allocation for the city’s critical home-repair program (carried out with Habitat for Humanity) to address items such as windows, water heaters, furnaces, plumbing and roofs. The plan also sets aside funds for public-service partners including Open Doors, Safe Harbor, Lantern House and Youth Court.
Action: The council adopted Resolution 25-27 to approve the consolidated plan and the annual action plan by unanimous vote.
Why this matters: CDBG funds are federal HUD dollars administered at the city level for low- and moderate-income housing and public services. The plan’s funding choices determine which households and nonprofit partners the city will support in the coming year.
Ending: Staff confirmed the city will follow HUD reporting and reimbursement requirements and that grant-funded projects will require documentation of eligibility and receipts prior to reimbursement.
