City accepts FY2024 CDBG action plan; staff outlines allocations and priorities
Summary
Council accepted the final FY2024 Community Development Block Grant action plan. Staff reported an annual HUD allocation of $537,958 plus $100,000 of unspent prior-year funds for a total program of about $637,958, with most funds directed to owner-occupied rehabilitation and a portion for public services and administration.
The Edmond City Council on Aug. 12 accepted the city's FY2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) action plan following a staff presentation and a 30-day public comment period.
Christie Patterson, the city's housing and community development manager, said Edmond's annual HUD entitlement for this program is $537,958 for federal fiscal year 2024 and that staff is programming an additional $100,000 of unspent prior-year funds, bringing the total available to $637,958. Patterson described programmatic allocations consistent with the city's five-year consolidated plan: up to 65% for eligible programming (including owner-occupied rehabilitation), up to 15% for public services (the statutory maximum) and up to 20% for administration. Patterson said $364,672 of the spending is programmed for owner-occupied rehabilitation to address emergency repairs and energy-efficiency measures.
Patterson also outlined partner nonprofits that receive allocations for public services, including Edmond Mobile Meals, the Hope Center and Project 66, and noted that the program year runs from Oct. 1 through the following Sept. 30. She said the plan had been reviewed by the Citizen Participation Committee and staff recommended approval.
Council action: After brief council remarks and expressions of appreciation for the nonprofit partnerships that deliver services, a council member moved to approve item 9a; the motion passed.
What remains: Staff will proceed with program administration and contract work with recommended nonprofit partners under the accepted action plan. Data and program descriptions are available in the public packet and via the city's community development office.
