Tustin council adopts CDBG annual action plan, allocates ~$772,000 and three‑year nonprofit funding
Summary
The City Council approved the FY 2026–27 Community Development Block Grant action plan and authorized staff to submit the document to HUD, allocating roughly $772,000 and funding seven nonprofit subrecipients in year one of a three‑year cycle.
The Tustin City Council voted unanimously to adopt the city's FY 2026'27 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan, authorizing staff to submit the plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by the May 15 deadline.
Senior management analyst Adrienne D'Aliva told the council the city anticipates receiving about $772,000 in CDBG funds for the coming year and presented staff's recommendations for distributing that allocation, including year one awards for seven nonprofit subrecipients selected through the city's citizen participation committee.
"This evening is the second public hearing," Adrienne D'Aliva said, describing the required public process, the committee review of applications and the annual monitoring that will follow each subrecipient award. She said nonprofits'continued funding in years two and three will depend on successful annual performance evaluations conducted by staff.
Representatives from several nonprofits addressed the council during the public comment period. Melanie Forre of Upwards described Boost, a coaching program for family childcare providers that she said increases quality and capacity; Lauren Hahn of Families Forward outlined the group's local outcomes, noting the organization helped prevent or end homelessness for 38 Tustin families in 2025; and Jill Dominguez, CEO of Mary's Path, described services for pregnant and parenting youth.
Council members praised staff and the nonprofit partners. Councilmember Fink disclosed she had served on the board of a grantee (Family Promise Orange County) and asked that the disclosure be included in the record; she said she was no longer on the board.
The council adopted Resolution No. 26-14 approving the action plan and authorizing submission to HUD. The motion passed on roll call, 5–0. Staff will enter into agreements with approved nonprofits and present annual monitoring summaries to the council as required.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract agreements with the approved nonprofit subrecipients and submit the action plan to HUD before the May 15 deadline.
