San Dimas adopts $196,000 CDBG plan to continue housing rehab, youth scholarships and a restaurant assistance program
Summary
Council unanimously approved the city's FY 2025–26 CDBG allocation of $196,001.78 (estimated $171,683 plus $24,495 carryover) to continue housing rehabilitation, fund a housing consultant, support youth scholarships, and seed a restaurant attraction program aimed at downtown economic activity.
The San Dimas City Council unanimously adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and allocations at its Jan. 14 meeting. Housing manager Lily Flores presented the staff recommendation and said the city’s estimated allocation from the Los Angeles County Development Authority is $171,683 with a carryover balance of $24,495, giving a working total of $196,001.78.
Flores outlined staff’s proposed distribution: continued housing rehabilitation funding (including $30,000 for a housing consultant/inspector), $35,000 for a newly created restaurant attraction and assistance program intended to incentivize an additional downtown restaurant and create jobs, and $10,000 for the youth scholarship program administered by Parks & Recreation. Flores said the housing rehabilitation program serves residents at or below 80% area median income and reported a large waitlist: the department received more than 120 interest forms on opening and is processing 19 applications that will exhaust current CDBG funds.
Councilmembers thanked staff for preserving youth funding and for the breadth of housing support programs; one member noted the city’s recently awarded federal Manufactured Housing Opportunity Revitalization (MORE) funds for mobile‑home rehabilitation. Councilmember (unnamed) moved adoption of Resolution 2025‑03 approving the program and authorizing the city manager to execute documents with the county; the motion passed 5–0.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with program implementation, issuing solicitations where required, managing the housing‑rehab waitlist and coordinating with the Los Angeles County Development Authority on required agreements and reporting.
