06-09-26 City Of Inglewood Council Meeting

The City of Inglewood Council held a meeting on June 9, 2026, which included a public hearing on reallocating approximately $3.1 million in HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to prioritize affordable rental housing construction. The council considered substantial amendments to the fiscal year 2025-2026 annual action plan and the HOME ARP allocation plan, aiming to allocate 90% of funds toward affordable rental housing and 10% toward deed-restricted affordable housing units with supportive services. The amendments also included long-term affordability provisions and leveraged project-based vouchers from the Inglewood Housing Authority. The council approved consent calendar items and received various reports from city authorities. Public comments focused heavily on community concerns regarding immigration enforcement and calls for the passage of the "Englewood for All Act" to protect immigrant residents, especially in light of upcoming major events like the FIFA World Cup. The meeting also addressed a controversial police incident involving the death of Brian Bostik, with public speakers demanding transparency and justice. No direct procurement or contracting decisions beyond the housing funding reallocation were noted during the meeting.
