Committee reviews annual resolution authorizing county to file HUD assistance application
Summary
New Castle County’s Administrative Finance Committee reviewed R26-145, a routine annual resolution authorizing the county executive to file for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development assistance; committee members said the measure is an annual administrative step and there was no public comment.
The Administrative Finance Committee on July 14 reviewed Resolution R26-145, which would authorize the county executive to file an application for federal assistance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act.
Councilman Hollins explained that the filing is an annual requirement that gives the executive branch the authority to submit grant applications; he said the resolution mirrors the form the county uses each year so the executive can pursue federal housing dollars. Chair John Cartier asked for questions; none were raised and staff reported no public comment on the item.
The committee’s discussion was procedural and limited to the required delegation for filing the application; no substantive program details or funding amounts were discussed during the committee meeting. The resolution was presented to the committee for consideration ahead of full council action.
