CDAC 2026.10.29

The City of Binghamton Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) meeting, dated October 29, 2026 in the metadata (the transcript opening says October 28), heard funding presentations from local service organizations seeking community development and homelessness-related support. Mothers and Babies requested $30,000 from Year 53 Community Development Block Grant funds, describing services for families with young children. Family Enrichment Network outlined Emergency Solutions Grant homelessness-prevention work, including demand for rent and utility assistance. The YWCA presented its emergency-housing and street-outreach services; members noted a budget-table correction to $37,440 for resident assistance, rather than $374,400. The YWCA also submitted a separate capital application for a childcare program.

Fairview Recovery Services requested $55,000 for an intensive-care navigator program, explaining that the request had previously been $45,000 and that the program faced an estimated $30,000 shortfall. The presentation also covered construction of a new facility, which will retain 20 beds, and possible future use or sale of the existing building. These presentations informed the committee’s funding review; the transcript records no votes or awards on the funding requests. The committee did vote to approve the prior meeting minutes with spelling corrections and later voted to adjourn.
