COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION
(APPROVED)
• Commissioner Boles added it is hard to support multiple projects with limited funds.
o Corken-Deutsch stated the Consolidated Plan focuses on housing activities, specifically
rehabbing homes at a more rapid pace, adding specialized rehab programs such as roof
replacement and accessibility improvements.
• Commissioner Mozena asked if there was any direction from the Federal Government regarding
Community Development Block Grant funds.
o Corken-Deutsch stated that CDBG was in the Continuing Resolution passed on March 15, 2024.
• Commission Mozena and Commissioner Campbell asked why mobile homes were included in the plan.
o Corken-Deutsch stated per CDP notice, CDBG funds can now be used to rehab mobile homes,
also known as manufactured homes. The activity of manufactured home rehab and reconstruction
is not written into the FY26 Annual Action Plan but is included in the 5-year plan. There was
conversation from commissioners about mobile homes depreciating in value, however,
commissioners supported the idea of using funds for rehabbing and reconstructing mobile homes
for residents to remain in their home.
