Escondido City Council received a staff overview of federal CDBG and HOME programs, discussed a timeline for an amendment to expand rental subsidies and first-time homebuyer support, and heard public comments urging use of roughly $350,000 in HOME funds for rental assistance rather than returning them to HUD. A separate public commenter asked the council to review a new California tobacco law and consider stronger local enforcement.
