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.

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026 Grant Agreement Transmittal
Dear Mayor Cavanagh:
The Omaha Field Office would like to thank you for your continued partnership in
providing quality affordable housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic
opportunities through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs.
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.
HUD congratulates the City of Dubuque on your grant award(s), and we look forward to
assisting you in accomplishing your program goals. If you have any questions or need further
information or assistance, please contact your assigned Field Office representative or email our
Office at: CPD_GeneralCorr-R7@hud.gov.

[14.218, CDBG, FY 20261 Page 1 of 11
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development— Federal Award Agreement
(the parties hereto or the Parties), regarding the award of Federal funding hereinabove described (Federal
Award) is made pursuant to the statutory authority above (box 19) and is subject to the applicable
appropriations act(s) (box 20). This Agreement incorporates by reference program statute (box 19), the
program regulations (box 22) (as now in effect and as may be amended from time to time), the Recipient's
consolidated plan/action plan, any attached Specific Terms and Conditions, and the attached addenda (box
23).
B. Terms and Conditions
1. General terms and requirements. The Recipient must comply with all applicable federal laws,
regulations, and requirements, unless otherwise provided through HUD's formal waiver authorities.
This Agreement, including any attachments and addenda, may only be amended in writing executed
by parties to this Agreement and any addenda.
2. Compliance with Administrative Requirements. The Recipient shall comply with requirements
established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) concerning the Unique Entity Identifier

The Recipient is responsible for updating and maintaining current and accurate information in
SAM.gov, including updating the UEI or Employer Identification Number (EIN), as necessary, if
administration of the award is transferred to a different subcomponent, division, or location within
the Recipient's organization that uses a different UEI or EIN. Recipients must require Subrecipients
to comply with the requirements in this paragraph, as applicable. "Subrecipient" for purposes of
this agreement has the same meaning as it is used in 2 CFR § 200.1 and means an entity that
receives a subaward from a pass -through entity to carry out part of a Federal award. The term
subrecipient does not include a beneficiary or participant. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of
other Federal awards directly from a Federal agency.
3. Compliance with 2 C.F.R. part200. The Recipient must comply with the applicable requirements at
2 C.F.R. part 200, as maybe amended from time to time. If any previous or future amendments to 2
C.F.R. part 200 replace or renumber any part 200 section cited in HUD's regulations in Title 24 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, the amended part 200 requirements will govern award activities
carried out after the amendments' effective date.
4. Future budget periods. If the period of performance spans multiple budget periods, subsequent
budget periods are subject to the availability of funds, program authority, satisfactory performance,
and compliance with the terms and conditions of the Federal Award.
5. Indirect Cost Rate. If the Recipient intends to use a negotiated or de minimis rate for indirect costs,
the Recipient must submit an Indirect Cost Rate form to HUD, with this Agreement using Addendum
#3 "Indirect Cost Rate Schedule". The submitted form/addendum will be incorporated into and
made part of this Agreement, provided that the rate information is consistent with the applicable
requirements under 2 C.F.R. § 200.414. If there is any change in the Recipient's indirect cost rate, it
must immediately notify HUD and execute an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the change if
necessary.
6. Recipient integrity and performance matters. If the Federal share of this award is more than
$500,000 overthe period of performance (box 6), the terms and conditions in 2 C.F.R. part 200
Appendix XII applyto this Agreement.
