Summary
After a brief public hearing and no public comment, the City Council voted to adopt the City of Redding20252029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025Annual Action Plan and authorized the city manager to submit the package to HUD and sign necessary documents.
The Redding City Council on Tuesday adopted the City of Redding 20252029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025 annual action plan, authorizing the city manager to submit both documents to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The adoption followed a staff presentation and a public hearing that drew no public comment. Nicole (Community Development staff) summarized the five-year priorities and the first-year spending estimates for HUD entitlement programs including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). "For the first year of the annual action plan, these are estimates on how much funding we believe that we will receive," Nicole said during the presentation.
The plan sets priority needs for affordable and multi-family housing development, housing rehabilitation, homeless prevention and emergency services, public improvements and economic development. Staff told council the city received 362 responses to an online public survey, engaged with more than 85 local agencies and consulted with the NorCal Continuum of Care.
For the Con Planfirst-year estimates staff reported roughly $934,000 for CDBG and about $1.2 million in HOME funds (including program income), and proposed funding awards to local nonprofits through the citys annual NOFA process. Recommended first-year public-service awards included $25,000 to FaithWorks for case management at Francis Court families, $22,000 to Child Abuse Prevention Council, $22,000 to Youth Violence Prevention Council (peer court), $20,000 to Lutheran Social Services for Goodwater Crossing micro-shelters and $10,000 to United Way of Northern California for Mark Street micro-shelter operations. Staff also listed capital and infrastructure allocations such as roughly $86,494 for ADA work, $141,364 for code enforcement and approximately $122,000 toward a Section 108 loan payment for South City Park.
After the staff presentation the hearing was opened and closed with no speakers, and council moved to adopt the resolution delegating authority to the city manager to submit the Con Plan and annual action plan to HUD. A motion to adopt passed and council members voiced their thanks to staff.
Council directed staff to continue outreach and to return with any required administrative steps after HUD review. The action authorizes the city manager to sign documents to complete the HUD submission.
The plan will guide how the city spends its HUD entitlement funds for the next five years, beginning with the projects listed in the first-year action plan.
