West Valley City outlines $1.73 million CDBG plan for 2026–27, prioritizes rehabs and youth programs
Summary
City staff presented the draft 2026–27 CDBG annual action plan after HUD notified the city of a $1,730,000 allocation; staff recommended funding for home rehab, an Oasis roof repair, youth programs and $150,000 for a new playground, with some requests reduced because applications exceeded available funds.
City staff presented the draft Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan for program year 2026–27 after receiving a HUD allocation of $1,730,000. At the public hearing, staff said program income from loan payoffs—$79,568.88 to date—will be added to the HUD allocation to determine the full funding pool.
Peggy Calda, the presenter, outlined recommended awards and said the committee vetted all applications before making allocations. Staff proposed continuing support for longstanding recipients, including the police department ($60,000 annually) and Victim Services (about $15,000), and funding parks and recreation with a $150,000 contribution toward an upcoming playground.
The plan also includes neighborhood services and infrastructure projects, including roof repairs at Oasis, which provides housing and services for residents with mental disabilities. Staff said home rehabilitation programs will continue and noted that the city used Salt Lake County’s Home Partnership funds—$400,000 in the current year and an anticipated $400,000 next year—to support manufactured-home repairs.
Several nonprofit applicants requested amounts larger than could be funded. Staff reported American Prep applied for about $30,000, South Valley Sanctuary requested $35,000, Legal Services Aid requested $15,000 and Big Brothers Big Sisters requested $15,000; the committee reduced some awards because total requests exceeded available funding.
City officials invited questions; no formal vote was recorded in the meeting minutes. Next steps are for staff to finalize the annual plan and submit it to HUD according to program timelines.
