Live From City Hall - Community Development Authority Meeting

The Community Development Authority meeting held on June 18, 2026, focused primarily on housing programs and budget updates. The housing program specialist presented two key initiatives: the Revive and Thrive program, which provides deferred loans to low- to moderate-income homeowners for exterior structural repairs such as roofs, windows, and siding, and the Home Possible program, which offers up to $15,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance to first-time homebuyers. The discussion included program eligibility criteria, income and property value limits set by federal guidelines, contractor bidding requirements, and the importance of housing quality standards inspections. The authority also noted ongoing efforts to promote these programs through community outreach and partnerships. Additionally, the director reported awaiting 2026 grant funding from HUD, with plans to begin spending once contracts are finalized. A zoning code open house was announced to gather public feedback on proposed updates affecting commercial and housing regulations. No formal votes on procurement or contract awards were recorded during the meeting.
