Spokane council approves CDBG grant support for Meals on Wheels before June expiry
Summary
Council Member Sarah Dixit said Spokane approved Community Development Block Grant funding to Meals on Wheels to avoid expiration by June; the recap did not specify the grant amount or ordinance reference.
Council Member Sarah Dixit said the Spokane City Council voted to allocate CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds to Meals on Wheels during its Feb. 2 legislative meeting to prevent the funds from expiring unused in June. "For something fun that we voted on, we got to approve CDBG grants to go to meals on wheels," Dixit said in a public recap.
Dixit said the money would have expired if it had not been used by June and that the council was "really excited to partner with them." The recap did not disclose the dollar amount, program year, or whether the funding is a reallocation or new award. Those details were not specified and would need to be confirmed in meeting minutes or staff reports.
The council's action as described was an approval to direct CDBG funds to Meals on Wheels; Dixit framed the decision as preserving funds for community use rather than expanding the overall grant pool.
