Commission backs full funding for three CDBG competitive projects, debates risk for Reach For Your Potential

Mar 23, 2026

Commissioners agreed to recommend full funding for three CDBG competitive projects and debated funding Reach For Your Potential for $20,000 despite concerns about meeting the 80% AMI requirement and federal Davis‑Bacon compliance; staff will monitor contract performance and federal requirements.

The full story

Commissioners reviewed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) competitive applicants and staff recommendations, focusing discussion on whether to fully fund three projects and on the readiness and compliance risks for one applicant, Reach For Your Potential. Commissioners and staff noted public‑facility projects require Davis‑Bacon wage compliance and discussed the monitoring and repayment risk if a project fails to meet federal AMI (area median income) requirements.
