Macomb Community Action told the Health and Human Services Committee the agency is requesting a $5,568,600 reduction in the HOME‑American Rescue Plan revenue line to more accurately reflect expected drawdown timing and reimbursement processes.

Ed, representing Macomb Community Action, said the county initially budgeted the full performance amount for future years; the requested amendment corrects that projection to reflect reimbursements and administrative timing. He told the committee the HOME‑ARP funds come from HUD, flow through the county planning department, and remain available through 2030.

Ed said the agency is planning roughly $1.4 million per year to spend down HOME‑ARP funds between now and 2030 on housing-related activities, including homelessness prevention, rental assistance and moving-cost assistance for qualifying households.

The committee voted to forward the budget amendment to the full board (motion recorded as 13–0).
