Public Hearing for Revere's Annual Action Plan 10/14/26

Revere held a public hearing on October 14, 2026, regarding a proposed substantial amendment to its Program Year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan. The city proposed reallocating $50,000 from economic development for small businesses, reducing that allocation from $105,000 to $55,000, and reducing public facilities funding by $50,000, to a stated final allocation of $264,459.30. The amendment would add housing assistance as an eligible activity, supporting Revere Affordable Trust’s first-time homebuyer down-payment program for low- and moderate-income households; no funds were allocated to the new activity at the time of the hearing. Assistance would be subject to affordable-homeownership deed and resale restrictions and applicable HUD requirements.

The hearing was part of a 30-day public comment period, after which the city planned to submit the amendment and any comments to HUD for approval on October 28, 2026. No speakers were present when the chair opened the hearing for proponents; the chair then opened the opposition portion. No vote, contract award, or procurement action was reported.
