Summary
Shoreline City Council voted 4–2 April 14 to reprogram $300,622 in Community Development Block Grant funds to subsidize low‑ and moderate‑income heat‑pump installations under the Energize Shoreline program; council debate focused on equity, program reach and alternative uses for small-dollar CDBG capital funds.
Shoreline City Council voted 4–2 April 14 to reprogram $300,622 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to expand the Energize Shoreline program and subsidize home electrification for income‑qualified households.
Bethany Walbrook Dunn, the city's community services manager, told the council the funds available for reprogramming total $306,422 from 2022–2024 CDBG allocations and recaptured funds; federal regulations and the seven‑year spending window constrain how small amounts can be used. Walbrook Dunn said the proposal would use the available CDBG funds alongside a federal EECBG grant and city one‑time funding to subsidize heat‑pump installations for low‑ and moderate‑income households and to support outreach and workshops.
