Scott County reviews CDBG‑CV support for emergency shelter operated by Humility Homes and Services
Summary
Budget Director David Farmer told the board the county’s IEDA CDBG‑CV grant totals $312,500 after a $11,000 amendment and that Scott County has disbursed $228,341.43 to Humility Homes and Services for shelter operations, with $81,658.57 reimbursed to date.
Budget and Administrative Services Director David Farmer updated the Scott County Board of Supervisors on the status of a Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (CDBG‑CV) award supporting Humility Homes and Services, Inc., which operates a low‑barrier emergency shelter.
Farmer said the original grant provided program funds of $300,000 and administrative funds of $1,500. A grant amendment added $10,000 in program funds and $1,000 in administrative funds, bringing total CDBG‑CV funding to $312,500. The county had paid HHSI $228,341.43 through March 31, 2026, and reported that $81,658.57 had been reimbursed to Scott County with the remainder pending processing.
Farmer outlined the grant’s eligible uses and reported accomplishments tied to the award: maintaining sanitary shelter conditions, providing hygiene supplies and PPE, compensating shelter staff, and connecting residents to long‑term housing and employment support services. He said a public notice regarding unfair housing practices was posted on social media and that minutes from the meeting will be provided to the state for a virtual site audit.
Location for the funded activity was given as 1016 W 5th St., Davenport. Board members did not receive public comment on the CDBG‑CV item during the hearing.
The record indicates the board closed the public hearing after Farmer’s presentation. The minutes do not specify future funding milestones beyond the forthcoming virtual audit or when outstanding reimbursements will be processed.
