Summary
City staff reported Clinton received $51,500 in CDBG‑CV funds for YWCA emergency homelessness operations; $16,490 has been paid, $26,475.87 approved and pending upon completion of the hearing, and 43 individuals and nine families have been served through February 2026.
The Clinton City Council on April 14 convened and closed a public hearing required by the Iowa Economic Development Authority for use of Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG‑CV) funds awarded to the YWCA for emergency homelessness assistance.
Tammy Johnson, Community Development Director, told the council the city was awarded $51,500 in CDBG‑CV funds from the Iowa Economic Development Authority to fund emergency homelessness services at the YWCA. Johnson reported $16,490 in claims had been paid and an additional $26,475.87 had been approved and was pending payment upon completion of the public hearing, bringing total paid and approved through the end of February 2026 to $42,965.87. She said the funds support eligible homeless operations necessary to continue shelter services and maintain safe operations.
Johnson also said, through the end of February, 43 individuals and nine families had received services using the CDBG funding. The project was described as meeting the CDBG‑CV urgent‑need objectives tied to COVID‑19 impacts. The hearing record showed no public comments and the council closed the public hearing; the transcript does not record a separate formal vote to authorize the pending payments during the hearing segment.
