Community Development Committee Meeting | 9-15-26 | 4 p.m.

The City of High Point Community Development Committee met on September 15, 2026, to discuss a substantial amendment to the 2019-2020 action plan involving the reallocation of $452,154 in CDBG-CV funds. The funds were proposed to be shifted from public facilities and community capacity building to public service activities such as rent and utility assistance and support for local food pantries, addressing the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee discussed the urgency of reallocating these funds before the September 30 expiration date and the challenges of undertaking large public facility projects within the timeframe. Additionally, the committee received a report on the previous program year's accomplishments, including homeowner repairs, construction training, and multifamily rental housing projects. No formal vote was taken, but a public hearing was scheduled for September 21, 2026, to further consider the amendment.
