Mooresville holds required public hearing on federal CDBG spending; staff reports most funds committed
Summary
Town staff presented the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) covering CDBG expenditures through June 30, 2025, saying most grant dollars are committed to homeowner repairs and a housing authority water‑line program; some remaining amounts and reprogramming figures were described but not stated consistently in the record.
Amber Goudreau, the town’s community development planner, held the required public hearing on the town’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds covering the period July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
Goudreau told the board the town received CDBG allocations of $222,398 for program year 2023–24 and $237,529 for program year 2024–25. She said the CAPER and the related federal financial form (PR‑26) show a total allocation across years of $459,927 and that, by the CAPER cutoff of June 30, 2025, the town had expended $282,448 of those funds; by the town’s later internal deadline of July 30 the town had expended $366,192, meaning timeliness thresholds were met by that later date.
The report lists subrecipient awards and uses of funds. Goudreau said the town awarded $189,038 to the United Way of Iredell County for a homeowner repair program; as of June 30, 2025 United Way’s remaining balance was $83,059 and she stated that balance had fallen to $16,000 by Aug. 1 as grants were processed. Goudreau said program year 2024–25 funding focused on a water‑line repair program administered by the Mooresville Housing Authority (also referred to in the record as Mooresville Housing Alliance). She said the PR‑26 summary showed $87,404 in unspent allocation as of the PR‑26 filing, and that those remaining amounts were spoken for—Goudreau cited reprogramming for the housing authority’s water repairs, administrative costs, and the remaining United Way balance—but the transcript does not state a single consistent breakdown for every reprogrammed amount.
Goudreau listed typical types of work funded by the grants: leaking water‑line repairs, HVAC and water‑heater replacement, roof and ceiling repairs, flooring repair, and accessibility and safety improvements. She also said 22 total housing units were supported by these grants from July 1 through June 30 and that an additional seven units were rehabilitated between July 1 and July 30, indicating work continued after the CAPER cutoff.
Commissioner Luis asked whether a community foundation that had expected funding was made whole after reprogramming; Goudreau replied that staff worked with the subrecipient and that a discretionary community development reimbursement for tap fees would be handled through an invoice and reimbursement process.
The hearing was informational; Goudreau said the CAPER and PR‑26 will be posted per HUD requirements and that the town will review the report further in commissioner briefings.
Ending
Goudreau invited board members to ask questions in follow‑up briefings. No formal action or vote on the CAPER was recorded during the hearing.
