Alger County board authorizes CDBG application for homeowner rehabilitation, discusses $400,000 request
Summary
The Alger County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for homeowner housing rehabilitation and to submit the grant to the state housing authority; commissioners discussed a $400,000 figure.
The Alger County Board of Commissioners voted April 20 to authorize submission of a Community Development Block Grant application to support homeowner housing rehabilitation.
The resolution, adopted as Resolution 2026-06, authorizes the county to apply to the state housing authority for CDBG funding to support homeowner rehabilitation. "Authorized and approved application for CDBG for homeowners, housing rehabilitation, and authorize submittal of the grant application with the state housing authority," the Chair said when moving the resolution. A commissioner confirmed the figure discussed was $400,000: "Was that, 400,000? Yep," the committee member replied.
Why it matters: CDBG homeowner-rehab funding typically helps low- and moderate-income homeowners with repairs that address safety, habitability and accessibility. The board opened a public hearing on the CDBG homeowner-rehab application at the start of the meeting but took no public comment before adopting the resolution.
The resolution passed with no recorded opposition. The board did not specify further details about program administration or an exact breakdown of how the $400,000 would be allocated; the resolution authorizes submittal of the application and related documents to the state housing authority for review.
Next steps: County staff will prepare and submit the formal CDBG application to the state housing authority as authorized by the board.
