Community development details CDBG/HOME funding and Section 8 constraints
Summary
Housing manager Carol Averill told the commission Southgate will receive $1,187,239 in CDBG entitlement for FY26-27 and $486,118 in HOME funding; she said the housing authority has 671 vouchers but only about 383 units are leased because of rent pressures and payment-standard limits.
Carol Averill, the city's housing manager, outlined federal and state-funded programs administered by the housing division and the limits on what those dollars can do. She said the city—ns CDBG entitlement for FY26-27 is $1,187,239 with about $34,099 in carryover, and that federal rules cap administration at 20% of entitlement ($230,628) and public-service uses at 15% ($178,086).
On HOME funds she said the city received $486,118 for the year with a 15% CHDO set-aside (about $72,917) and explained program rules and match requirements. On vouchers, Averill said Southgate has 671 vouchers allocated but only about 383 families are leasing units, because funding and high rents limit how many vouchers can be used at current payment standards. "We have 383 vouchers under lease, and we received $6,400,000 to cover rents," she said, noting long waiting lists and the need for landlord outreach.
