BACKGROUND:
Clark County anticipates being eligible to receive FY 2025-2026 CDBG program funds in the approximate amount of $8,474,967* from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The objective of these funds is to develop urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding opportunities for low- and moderate- income persons.
In response to the solicitation for proposals, thirteen (13) project applications were received, totaling a funding amount of $9,848,106. On February 18, 2025, the CDAC convened to hear presentations from organizations proposing public facilities, public services, and economic development projects. After extensive analysis and discussion, on March 4, 2025, the CDAC voted to recommend a list of projects for funding, along with corresponding allocations and a contingency plan should remaining and/or if additional CDBG funds become available.
The Board of County Commissioners has the final authority over the allocation of these funds, subject to the County meeting federal requirements. The allocations approved by the Board of County Commissioners will be incorporated into the FY 2025 Annual Action Plan. This agenda item allows the County Manager or his designee to approve and sign necessary resolutions for the CDBG program.
The District Attorney's office has reviewed and approved this item as to form. AIDR No. 3751 provides additional details.
