Roanoke presents HUD annual action plan: $1.8M CDBG, $575K HOME, $158K ESG recommended
Summary
City staff presented the HUD 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan, listing proposed awards across CDBG, HOME and ESG programs (including housing rehab, public services, playground replacement and gateway housing), and outlined the citizen‑participation and submission timeline.
Desi Winter presented the City of Roanoke’s HUD 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan, explaining entitlement funding sources and proposed awards for CDBG, HOME, and ESG. Winter reported HUD’s allocation verification: approximately $1.8 million for CDBG, just over $575,000 for HOME, and $158,000 for ESG, and walked council through recommended housing and public‑service awards.
Winter detailed CDBG housing allocations (including specific awards such as Renovation Alliance owner‑occupied rehab $200,000 and Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority project awards) and public‑service grants (Bradley Free Clinic, Feeding Southwest Virginia, children’s advocacy and homeless services awards). For HOME funding he outlined a total program value of $975,000 for the year by combining current allocation and carry‑forward funds; for ESG he listed grant recipients and amounts. He also described the citizen‑participation schedule, saying the 30‑day public display ends on July 17 and the plan is scheduled for council approval before submission to HUD.
Council members asked clarifying questions about award selection, carry‑forward HOME dollars, playground equipment recipients, and the planned consultant study for a future neighborhood revitalization strategy area. Winter said staff will follow up with details on project deadlines and suggested the plan would return to council for final approval at the next meeting.
