Davis County adopts 2026–27 CDBG/HOME annual action plan after public comment
Summary
After a public hearing and multiple local endorsements, the Davis County Commission approved its 2026–27 annual action plan for CDBG and HOME funding, backing water-line and housing-repair projects and allocating a limited share of CDBG dollars to public services.
The Davis County Commission voted on May 26 to adopt the county’s 2026–27 annual action plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funds, approving staff recommendations for water-line repairs, home-repair assistance and targeted public-service grants.
Ryan Steinbeagle of the County’s Community Services Division, filling in for Kent Anderson, outlined the plan during a second public hearing. Staff recommended two water-line projects with Woods Cross City and South Davis Water District, a two-phase Sunset City replacement budgeted at $180,000 this year and $180,000 next year, and HOME-program housing activities with Habitat for Humanity including home rehabs and homeownership assistance. Steinbeagle also noted the county is limited to spending 15% of its CDBG allocation on public services and that requests exceeded available funds.
Multiple local organizations and officials voiced support during public comment. Lorna Kosai, representing Davis Donated Dental Services, said the nonprofit has delivered roughly $1,700,000 in oral-health services since 2012 on about $300,000 in direct expenses and urged continued funding for services that reach uninsured, low-income residents. Royce Hatterley, Woods Cross city administrator, thanked county staff and said the county-backed waterline project would help neighborhoods coping with ongoing soil subsidence; he estimated Woods Cross received about 21–24 subsidence-assistance applications last year. John Russell of Habitat for Humanity described the group’s critical home-repair work to stabilize housing for low- and moderate-income homeowners. Amanda Grow of Grand View for Good said the county-supported grief center provided intensive group therapy to about 100 families last year and broader prevention programming to thousands of children; Ryan Steinbeagle added that Grand View was also recommended for roughly $100,000 in separate Social Services Block Grant funds.
Health and victim-services providers also thanked the commission. Emily Hillstead of Safe Harbor Crisis Center said the organization served more than 2,000 county residents last year through shelter, apartments and outreach and reported sustained demand for forensic nursing services.
After hearing comments, a commissioner moved to close the public hearing and the commission approved the plan and related submittals to HUD by voice vote. The approved plan directs staff to submit the annual action plan and attachments to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for final processing.
What’s next: staff will finalize the HUD submission and begin implementing the approved projects and service agreements; specific execution schedules and contracts were not specified at the meeting.
