Board adopts HUD funding plan and hears county housing study as officials outline funding for veterans and broader housing needs
Summary
Clermont County adopted its FY2025 CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan (CDBG $1,002,763; HOME $524,476.72) and agreed to act as the non‑recipient responsible entity for a Veterans Village PBV project estimated at $5,685,120 while Urban Partners presented a Comprehensive Housing Study.
The Clermont County Board on July 9 adopted the County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investments Partnership Program One‑Year Annual Action Plan for FY2025 and authorized submission of federal applications and assurances to HUD. The approved amounts are $1,002,763 for CDBG and $524,476.72 for HOME funds.
Urban Partners presented the county’s Comprehensive Housing Study, which detailed demographic and economic trends, housing supply analysis, market analysis and potential strategies to address local housing needs. The study is intended to inform program priorities and capital investment decisions tied to CDBG/HOME funds and other housing resources.
Separately, the board agreed to act as the Non‑Recipient Responsible Entity for an environmental review associated with a Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority Veterans Village project. The record lists a Project‑Based Voucher (PBV) allocation of $5,685,120 for 19 PBVs for the Veterans Village. County Administrator Thomas J. Eigel was designated as the certifying officer to complete the required environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58.
The actions position county staff to submit federal applications and to proceed with environmental review required for HUD‑related housing investments; project-level approvals and expenditures remain subject to further documentation and compliance steps.
