Housing policy staff opened the study session to discuss substantial amendments to the 2025 HUD Annual Action Plan for CDBG and HOME and to brief commissioners on two projects requiring amendments; staff announced Becky Smith (City of Northland) would join for Northland questions.
Adams County commissioners discussed amendments to the 2025 HUD annual action plan to allocate CDBG/HOME and remaining NSP funds to shovel‑ready projects (Odell Berry Park, Blossom Commons/Verbena), approved a 30‑day public comment period, and moved to pursue a community grants priority favoring basic needs (option 2). The board heard detailed proposals for a county community fund and a homelessness funding catalyst (SHG/SHG Innovations/SHG Innovations catalyst/Right at Home pilot), asked legal questions about governance and donor/conflict risks, and directed staff to return with refined recommendations. Commissioners also reviewed a state shared‑services proposal (call center/fraud unit) and signaled opposition to bidding while continuing advocacy and monitoring of legislative developments.
