Haverland, Housing & Community Development Director DATE: April 14, 2026 RE: FY 2027 Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan INTRODUCTION The Housing & Community Development Department is submitting the attached FY 2027 Annual Action Plan for the use of Community Development Block Grant funds for the City Council to adopt at the April 20, 2026 meeting. This memo transmits a resolution to adopt the FY 2027 Annual Action Plan. BACKGROUND The City of Dubuque receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) as an entitlement community. The City of Dubuque must follow a public process to plan for, use, and evaluate the impact of these federal resources. The CDBG Annual Action Plan outlines how the city will use CDBG funds to provide decent and affordable housing, create economic opportunity, and suitable living environments. The city is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD each year. During the citizen participation process, the FY 2027 Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan was presented using an estimated entitlement amount based on the prior year's allocation of $1,037,080 and anticipated program income of$194,868, for a total of$1,231,948. Because the final HUD allocation was not yet known, the Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan included a contingency provision that would be implemented once the actual allocation was received. Per our Citizen Participation Plan, interested parties could examine and comment on the contents of the proposed Plan for at least 30 days from December 17, 2025-January 16, 2026. The plan was available at the City Clerk's Office, Carnegie -Stout Public Library, Multicultural Family Center, the Housing and Community Development Department, and online at www.cityofdubuque.orq/housinq. Written comments could be submitted prior to the public hearing, and in-person comments were accepted during the hearing. No public comments were received. DISCUSSION Page 283 of 901 Following receipt of the actual allocation, the FY 2027 Annual Action Plan now reflects an entitlement award of $1,044,630 and $194,868 in program income, for a total of $1,239,498. Consistent with the contingency provision in the Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan, the $7,550 increase in entitlement funding will be allocated to the Neighborhood Recreation Program (Public Services), increasing its funding from $146,848 to $154,398. FY 2027 Annual Action Plan includes several housing development activities, including Homeowner Rehabilitation, Roof Replacement, and Accessibility Improvements. Recurring programs include Lead and Healthy Homes Grant Match, Healthy Homes Grant Match which includes roof replacement, Neighborhood Recreation Programs, Zoning Enforcement and Rehab Services and Staff. A new program, Low- and Moderate-Income Area Park Improvements, will support the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. All activities align with the 5-Year Consolidated Plan goals and City Council priorities. The Community Development Advisory Commission reviewed and approved this FY27 Annual Action Plan at their January 21, 2026 meeting and recommends City Council adoption. RECOMMENDATION I respectfully request the City Council approve the attached resolution adopting the FY 2027 Annual Action Plan as recommended by the Community Development Advisory Commission, and direct staff to transmit this plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as required.

Except as where otherwise noted, one Grant Agreement is attached for each program awarded as follows: Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) $1,044,630.00 Total FY 2026 Award $1,044,630.00 Federal Award Agreement Transmittal of a grant agreement does not constitute approval of the activities described in your Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan. You are reminded that you, as grantee, are responsible for ensuring that all grant funds are used in accordance with all program requirements. By executing the Federal Award Agreement, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with HUD to use the awarded funds and carry out the funded activities in accordance with all Federal statutes, regulations, Federal Register notices, and award terms and conditions that apply to those funds and activities. Please carefully note the addenda that are part of each agreement. HUD recognizes that some federal courts have issued injunctions or orders which impact certain CPD Federal Award/Grant Agreements, to include an order vacating certain grant conditions issued by the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, et al. v. Kennedy, et al., 1:25-cv-00342 (D.R.I.) which impacts CPD Federal Award Agreements and grantees. To preserve all legal rights and defenses, the enclosed agreement contains the same conditions at issue in those orders. For grantees who are plaintiffs covered by those orders or for non-plaintiff grantees who are otherwise covered by those orders, be advised that HUD will comply with all applicable injunctions and orders and will not 2 implement or enforce the challenged or vacated conditions consistent with those orders while those orders are in effect. This will include HUD disregarding any required “certifications” or “compliance” statements as covered by those orders. Accordingly, kindly return an executed copy of the Federal Award/Grant Agreement, as discussed below, and HUD will make grant funds at issue in your agreement available. Please be further advised that should the injunction or order that currently prohibits HUD from enforcing the challenged conditions as to your grant or award be stayed, dissolved, or reversed, the agreement, with the challenged conditions, will become effective. Executing the Agreement The authorized official must complete Addendum 3. Indirect Cost Rate Schedule for each agreement, even if no indirect costs will be charged under the grant. Please mark one (and only one) checkbox to reflect how indirect costs will be calculated and charged under the grant. Please note that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued revised Guidance and the de minimis indirect cost rate increased from 10 percent to up to 15 percent of Modified Total Direct Costs. After certifying Addendum 3, the authorized official must input their full name and title, and then execute the agreement, with a signature, and date. To ensure expeditious disbursement of grant funds, do not make any additional modifications or amendments to the grant agreement other than those specifically allowed by applicable injunctions or orders or with prior written approval from HUD. Please ensure the authorized official signs the agreement. Once signed, the Grant Package will be submitted to HUD for review and countersignature. No other additions other than those described here should be made to the grant agreement without prior written approval. You must return the entire Federal Award Agreement, including all addenda, to this office via the Field Office General Email Inbox: CPD_GeneralCorr-R7@hud.gov. HUD will be signing the grant agreement second and will return to your office a copy of each signed agreement for you to maintain in your local program files.
