The Community and Economic Development Committee is meeting 01/24/2024 at 6:30PM.
They have two related items on the agenda as well as an associated public hearing.
The first item is a request to approve the preliminary community development block grant community partner allocations for the 2024-2025 program year. City staff estimates that the city will receive approximately $300,350 in grant funds to be allocated to non-public organizations. The CDBG advisory board approved staff recommendations with some changes, dividing the funds between Habitat For Humanity, Rebuilding Together, Pillars, Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation, and the Salvation Army.
They will also be voting on a request to reallocate $28,981.24 in 2023-2024 CDBG funding. The money had initially been awarded to a different recipient, but that organization ended their project due to staffing issues and returned the unused dollars back to the city. The CDBG Advisory Board recommended dividing the money between LEAVEN and the Building for Kids.
Finally, as an information item, the committee will be receiving the annual updates to the Housing Affordability Report and the Housing Fee Report.
