Community Development Block Grant Federal Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Action Plan

The City of Edmond held a meeting on July 28, 2026, to discuss and accept the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Federal Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Action Plan. The plan outlines the allocation of approximately $467,780 in federal HUD funding aimed at supporting low-to-moderate income residents, with over 51% of funds directed to those below 80% of the area median income. Key programs funded include housing rehabilitation, weatherization, and removal of hazardous trees, with partnerships involving local nonprofits providing social services and fair housing support. The city is also utilizing about $100,000 in carryover funds from previous years to maintain service levels despite a slight reduction in the current year's allocation. No funds were allocated to public infrastructure this year due to budget constraints. The plan aligns with the city's five-year consolidated plan, which is reviewed annually and reset every five years. The meeting included a public hearing and addressed questions about fund reserves and plan updates.
