Council hears staff plan for HOME and CDBG funds and homeowner rehabilitation program
Summary
Staff told the council it has received FY2026 HUD allocations with a modest net increase and presented resolutions to direct HOME funds toward tenant‑based rental assistance, the annual CDBG action plan, and a homeowner rehabilitation program serving 33 households last year.
City staff presented three linked resolutions—two to accept anticipated HUD allocations and one to continue funding a homeowner rehabilitation program—and described how the funds would be used in FY2026.
The presenter said the HOME funding recommendation would support the tenant‑based rental assistance program for low‑ and moderate‑income Chandler residents and that the annual action plan for CDBG serves as a prerequisite for the city’s CDBG allocation from HUD. On the homeowner rehabilitation program, staff said it provides repair and accessibility modifications to eligible homeowners through a contract with FSL Home Improvement.
On the allocation numbers, staff reported they have received the HUD allocation and that “the actual numbers that we actually received nearly $13,000 increase over last year's funding.” The presenter also said the homeowner rehabilitation program served 33 households last year and noted that 70% of participants were age 62 or older.
Why it matters: HOME and CDBG funds are federal grants that support affordable housing, public services and capital projects. Staff said planned uses include tenant‑based assistance, public services and capital projects intended to serve households with low and moderate incomes.
Next steps: Staff will bring the resolutions forward for council action as part of the agenda process; residents can contact the housing office for program details (staff noted a phone number and QR code on the presentation slide).
