Council votes to renew CDBG participation for 2027–2029
Summary
By roll call, the New Haven Village Council voted to opt in to the Community Development Block Grant program for 2027–2029, preserving community allocations used for local nonprofit and resident services.
The New Haven Village Council voted to renew participation in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for 2027–2029, opting in by roll call before the July deadline staff flagged for the village.
Staff member summarized the choice before the council: the village must decide by July 31 whether to opt in or opt out of the CDBG program. The village historically used CDBG funds to allocate small grants to local nonprofits and support community programs; trustees said the amount of direct benefit to the village is limited but valuable for charitable distributions.
Trustee (who moved the motion) formally moved to renew the village’s participation for 2027–2029. The chair called roll; Councilor Goldberg, Councilor Rivera, Castillo, Trustee Rivera, Trustee Nocrossman, Trustee Deloird and Judge Tyson responded "Yes," and the chair announced the motion carries.
Staff said next steps include submitting the village's decision by the program deadline and continuing to coordinate program administration with HUD and county partners. The council did not amend the sample opt‑in letter provided in the packet and directed staff to complete required filings.
