County hears closeout report for $300,000 CDBG-CV grant that funded Mercy House food truck and kitchen
Summary
Elizabeth Daley of Central Alabama Regional Planning told commissioners Montgomery County expended $300,000 in CDBG-CV funds—$275,000 on Mercy House’s Mana House kitchen and food truck and $25,000 for administration—and that the project has expanded meal deliveries to hundreds in unincorporated areas; the commission closed the public hearing with no further action required.
Elizabeth Daley, who administers the county’s Community Development Block Grant–Coronavirus program through Central Alabama Regional Planning, told the commission that Montgomery County received $300,000 in 2020 in CDBG–CV funds. Daley said $275,000 supported Mercy House’s acquisition of a food truck and the Mana House commercial kitchen on South Court Street, and $25,000 paid for project administration.
Daley said the food truck and kitchen have enabled meal deliveries to roughly 400 low-to-moderate-income residents and individuals experiencing homelessness in the county’s unincorporated areas, and that Mercy House plans to continue deliveries. She said the Mana House is equipped with a walk-in cooler/freezer, oven, steamer and exhaust hoods and that a ribbon-cutting will be scheduled.
Commissioners thanked Daley and Mercy House for completing the project; the public hearing was closed after the presentation and no additional county action was required at the meeting.
