CDBG Funding for Local Public Services
Summary
The draft FY 2026-27 plan directs roughly $215,000 in federal grant money to public service agencies plus housing programs like purchase-resale of homes for low-income first-time buyers. Federal allocations came in about $8,000 lower than expected, meaning Meals on Wheels funding may drop from $50,000 to $42,000 to stay under the 15% public services cap.
