Florissant presents FY2025 CDBG plan, proposes $279,583 in funds for housing repairs and assistance
Summary
Director Trisha Scribe told the council the city expects roughly $279,583 in CDBG funds and proposed allocations including home repair, HVAC replacements, accessibility modifications, rental/utility assistance and grant administration.
Trisha Scribe, Florissant’s director of housing and community development, presented the city’s FY2025 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan at the July 14 council meeting.
Scribe said the city received $279,583 last year and expects about the same in 2025. The draft spending plan prioritizes owner-occupant home repairs ($114,167), a mechanical/HVAC replacement program ($70,000), an accessible home modification program to help elderly or disabled residents remain in place ($18,000), a small Project Impact volunteer-program budget ($5,000), mortgage/rent/utility assistance ($16,500) and $55,916 for grant administration and staff costs to run the program.
Council members expressed support and noted positive resident feedback about the programs. The council closed the public hearing and later approved an ordinance (Bill 10092) to adopt the FY2025 action plan and authorize the mayor to submit it to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Next steps: the mayor will submit the plan to HUD per federal requirements; the city will administer the programs subject to federal CDBG rules and any HUD review.
