CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee - May 20th 2026

The City of Prescott's CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee met on May 20, 2026, to discuss the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program's annual action plan for program year 2026, including multi-year award history and subrecipient balances. Key procurement-related topics included updates on funding allocations for public service and construction projects, such as the completion of the Presque Isle Community Covered Food Bank and Agape House renovations. The committee reviewed spending timelines, with public service activities expected to be completed within the program year and construction projects within three years. Discussion also covered the minor home repair program, detailing the contractor bidding and approval process, and the use of CDBG-CV (COVID relief) funds through the Prescott Cares program, which provided rental and utility assistance to eligible residents. The committee emphasized the importance of obtaining multiple bids for projects and noted that unspent funds are returned to the CDBG pool for future allocation. The meeting concluded with reminders about upcoming council meetings for funding approval and the next committee meeting scheduled for August.
