Council approves $30,000 in CDBG public‑service awards to five local nonprofits
Summary
Council approved allocations of $30,000 in CDBG FY2025 public‑service funds to five nonprofits: Fall Rec $8,000; Brighter House $8,000; Options $7,000; House of Refuge $5,000; Olive Hill $2,000.
Jennifer Cannon presented the city’s fall recommendations for the FY2025 CDBG entitlement public‑service grants and asked council to approve awards totaling $30,000. The committee recommended funding five local nonprofits focused on housing support, food assistance and small‑business training.
Cannon outlined the recommended awards: $8,000 to Fall Rec (financial support for housing and first month’s rent for homeless and displaced women and "hope tote" household starter kits); $8,000 to Brighter House for food‑pantry and meal‑preparation supports; $7,000 to Options for shelter support and grocery supplies (including possible first‑month rent and security deposits); $2,000 to Olive Hill for training toolkits for low‑income micro‑enterprises; and $5,000 to House of Refuge for utilities, meals and food pantry support.
A councilmember moved to award the CDBG funds as reported; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Council thanked Cannon for the presentation and approved the recommendations.
