Livingston County reviews $550,000 state grant used to replace three mobile homes and install septic systems
Summary
County staff summarized a completed $550,000 New York State Community Development Block Grant housing project that replaced three mobile homes and installed new septic systems; the county said program partners were Cattaraugus Community Action and the county land bank and that the work finished in November 2024.
Livingston County officials told the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 22 that a $550,000 New York State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awarded in November 2022 funded replacement of three mobile homes and installation of new septic systems for the households identified in the grant.
The grant summary was delivered by county staff member Nate during a public hearing required by the Office of Community Renewal. The county said Cattaraugus Community Action managed program delivery and the county Land Bank oversaw administrative and grant reporting. County staff said the mobile home replacements and septic installations were completed by November 2024 and that the county posted a program press release and an interview with one recipient on its website.
The CDBG housing program is intended to provide safe, sanitary housing to low- and moderate-income residents through rehabilitation or replacement projects. County staff opened the hearing to public comment as part of the grant closeout requirements; no public comments related to the program were recorded in the transcript during the hearing period.
The presentation did not include details in the transcript about individual household incomes, property addresses, or the total per-unit replacement costs. County staff directed people seeking more information to the county website where the press release and recipient interview are posted.
The county identified program partners and the grant source but did not provide in the hearing a line-item accounting of how the $550,000 was spent, whether state grant closeout paperwork has been accepted by the Office of Community Renewal, or whether any follow-up inspections remain outstanding.
