Lake County Ohio Public Final Hearing CDBG/HOME FY26 07/21/2026 - Live Stream

This was a public final hearing held by Lake County Ohio on July 21, 2026, regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME program projects and funding allocations for fiscal year 2026. The hearing focused on obtaining public input on the proposed projects and funding levels as part of the county's consolidated plan and annual action plan submission to HUD. A key procurement-related discussion involved a request from Birthright Lake County, a nonprofit organization, seeking an increase in CDBG funding for their diaper bank program, which supports low-income families by providing supplemental diapers to help children attend daycare and enable parents to work. The board invited further written comments on the proposed projects through August 6, 2026, before finalizing the annual action plan and subrecipient agreements later in the year.
