Community And Economic Development Committee Meeting 05/25/2022 – Will Vote On Reducing Funding For Appleton Housing Authority

The Community and Economic Development Committee is meeting 05/25/2022 at 4:30PM.

They have one item they will be voting on which is a request to approve a $33,830 reduction in the Community and Development Block Grant funding awarded to the Appleton Housing Authority.

The City had expected to receive $599,710 in CDBG funds and in November of 2021 had preliminarily allocated that money but then afterwards found it had only been awarded $565,880.

Per the memo to the committee, “Due to staffing turnover and an extremely difficult housing market, the Appleton Housing Authority has been unable to spend down any portion of the 2021 allocation, to date. In addition, in February 2022, AHA requested the reallocation of their remaining 2020 award – $42,824.66 – to Rebuilding Together Fox Valley, due to the limitations mentioned previously.”

As a result, staff is recommending reducing their 2022 award by $33,830 and reallocating their 2020 balance of $42,824.66 to Rebuilding Together Fox Valley’s.
