Winn Parish holds public hearing on housing, considers CDBG application
Summary
The Winn Parish Police Jury held a Feb. 18, 2025 public hearing to gather views on housing and community development needs tied to a potential application for State of Louisiana FY 2026/2027 Community Development Block Grant funds; no public comments were received.
President Frank McLaren called a public hearing to order on Feb. 18, 2025 to "obtain views on the housing and Community development needs of Winn Parish and to discuss the submission of an application for funding under the State of Louisiana FY 2026/2027 Community Development Block Grant Program," the record shows.
The hearing overview, read by McLaren and county staff, outlined the range of eligible activities, the Parish's estimates for benefits to persons of low and moderate income, steps to minimize displacement and the Parish's plans to assist anyone who would be displaced by projects funded through the program. Karen Tyler, Winn Parish secretary/treasurer, told the Jury that the public notice for the hearing ran in the Winn Parish Enterprise on Feb. 12, 2025 and that residents could submit written views to the Parish by Feb. 18, 2025.
Tyler also stated that no written or oral views or proposals were received for the hearing. The record notes that accommodations for persons with disabilities and for those with limited English proficiency would be provided if the Parish received advance notice.
The Police Jury took no substantive votes on program content during the hearing; the session was an information-gathering step in the parish's consideration of whether to apply for State CDBG funds. The hearing was adjourned at 5:03 p.m.
