Sunnyvale adopts 2026–27 HUD action plan, allocates CDBG/HOME and $1M/year TBRA funding
Summary
City Council adopted the draft 2026–27 HUD action plan, approving recommended allocations for CDBG and HOME funding—including $1,000,000 per year (two years) for the TBRA rental subsidy program—and capital grants to Upwards Care (Boost) and Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley.
The Sunnyvale City Council unanimously adopted the city’s draft 2026–27 Housing and Urban Development action plan on May 5, approving funding allocations proposed by staff and recommended by the Housing and Human Services Commission.
Housing programs analyst Hazel reported that Sunnyvale receives two HUD grants (CDBG and HOME) and summarized recommended allocations: approximately $177,800 for CDBG public services for the coming year; administrative allocations within HUD limits (about $237,000 for CDBG administration and $38,000 for HOME administration); a $119,000 recommendation for the city’s minor home improvement program; and a capital recommendation supporting Upwards Care’s Boost program and Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley. Staff recommended awarding $1,000,000 per year for two years in HOME funds to a TBRA (tenant‑based rental assistance) program administered through Sunnyvale Community Services to assist very low‑income households at risk of homelessness.
Nonprofit representatives described program goals. Melanie Foehr of Upwards said the Boost program helps family child‑care providers scale operations and create local jobs; Rebuilding Together highlighted home repairs and accessibility work that preserve affordable housing. Sunnyvale Community Services described a TBRA model that provides rental subsidy and intensive case‑management; staff noted providers will administer subsidies and supportive services.
Council members praised the mix of prevention, services and capital investments and thanked staff for stakeholder engagement. The motion to adopt the draft action plan carried 4–0 with absent members noted. The approved plan will be the basis for HUD grant applications and implementation of funded programs beginning July 1.
