Council adds $2 million older-adult home-modification grant to budget amendments
Summary
The Lexington Urban County Council voted to amend the budget amendments list to add a $2 million grant for older-adult home modifications; no local match required and the amendment was added for a first reading before the council's spring recess.
The Lexington Urban County Council voted to amend its budget amendments to add a $2,000,000 grant for an older-adult home modification program, Councilmember James Brown said during the meeting on March 11, 2025.
"This amendment will establish a grant for the older adult home modification grant in the amount of $2,000,000. No local match is required," Councilmember James Brown said when he moved the amendment, which was seconded and approved by voice vote. Councilmember Morton seconded the motion.
Brown said the change was added to the list on pages 2 through 4 of the work-session packet so it could receive a first reading before the council's spring recess. The council recorded no additional debate in the public portion of the meeting and the motion passed after members were asked to indicate approval by saying "aye."
The amendment does not specify a local match requirement and was entered into the budget-amendments list for a first reading; further details about program eligibility, administration, or funding timeline were not provided at the meeting.
