The Sterling Heights Citizens Advisory Committee announced a public hearing on Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, to gather input on the city’s use of Community Development Block Grant funding and described a mobile‑home repair program available to eligible owner‑occupants, a city development staff member said.
The staff member said, “The Community Development Block Grant or CDBG is a federal program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, but it's driven by local priorities.” The presentation listed local CDBG uses including home repair programs, support for nonprofit services such as senior services and shelters, youth programs and public infrastructure upgrades.
On the mobile‑home repair program, the staff member said, “Eligible applicants may receive up to a thousand dollar grant to complete essential repairs to their mobile home. 1 time waivers are available for those in need of a new roof or new hot water tank at no cost to the homeowner.” The presentation specified the program is available to owner‑occupants who are low‑ to moderate‑income and who reside in Rudgate Manor or Sterling Estates.
City staff asked residents and community groups to participate in the CDBG process to help prioritize spending. The public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, in Council Chambers at Sterling Heights City Hall. Those who cannot attend were told to email comments to cdbg@sterlingheights.gov or contact City Development at (586) 446-2724.
The announcement did not include a budget total for the city’s CDBG allocation or eligibility income thresholds; those details were not specified in the presentation.
