Background:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Hennepin County to adopt a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan to receive HUD entitlement funds, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Hennepin County Board authorized the negotiation of receivable contracts with estimated grant amounts via Resolution 25-0192 on May 20, 2025.
HUD released final grant amounts on May 15, 2025, which were slightly higher than anticipated. This request recognizes HUD actuals for the 2025 CDBG program and recommends allocations following the approved 2025 Action Plan needs, goals, and priorities.
The increase of $75,081 for the Program Year 2025 CDBG will support PRISM’s emergency assistance program (as described herein), with the remainder of the funds supporting the county’s CDBG consolidated pool housing rehabilitation program and the county’s administration of the CDBG program.
Current Request: This request is for authorization to modify the receivable agreement with HUD for the 2025 CDBG program increasing the receivable amount by $75,081, and to negotiate an award modification for PRISM’s Emergency Assistance program increasing the not to exceed amount by $40,000.
Impact/Outcomes: This action will ensure emergency assistance for 15 additional households with low or moderate incomes.
