Anoka County board unanimously adopts 2026 HUD annual action plan and authorizes grant submissions
Summary
The Anoka County Board voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2026-41, authorizing the county to submit its 2026 annual action plan for CDBG, ESG and HOME funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Anoka County commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-41 to approve the county's 2026 annual action plan and authorize submission of grant requests to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding.
Commissioner Gamash offered the resolution and there was no recorded discussion before the board took a roll-call vote that resulted in unanimous approval. The resolution authorizes county staff to submit the plan and related grant applications to HUD for the programs listed.
Why it matters: the CDBG, ESG and HOME programs provide federal funding for housing, homelessness response and affordable housing activities in Anoka County; adoption of the action plan is a prerequisite to seeking those federal funds and directing how they might be used locally for the coming program year.
Next steps: with the board's authorization, county staff will submit the 2026 action plan to HUD as described in the resolution; the record does not specify grant award amounts or specific subrecipients in this meeting.
