Loading...
Summary
The board authorized the chair to sign NEPA forms and submit a $300,000 California CDBG application to fund a feasibility and inventory study for migrant farmworker housing in unincorporated Yolo County.
Yolo County staff told the board on March 24 that the county will apply for $300,000 in California Community Development Block Grant funds to study housing needs for migrant farmworkers in unincorporated parts of the county. The county administrator’s office explained the grant would fund an inventory of development barriers, feasibility analyses of housing models for rural farmworker communities and identification of potential sites.
Yan Nguyen of the county administrator’s office summarized eligible uses under the 2025 CDBG Notice of Funding Availability and said the grant application must be submitted by April 3. After the staff presentation the board left the public hearing open briefly, received no public comment on the item, then closed the hearing and moved to authorize the chair to sign the required NEPA and administrative forms and to adopt the resolution delegating authority to submit the application.
The motion to authorize submission was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor without objection. Staff said the study would inform planning for affordable sanitary housing models and identify barriers to development facing migrant farmworker communities in unincorporated Yolo County.
No funding awards were made at the meeting; staff will submit the application and notify the board of any subsequent developments.
