The Council will receive a briefing on recommendations for allocating grant funding
provided through four federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD)
programs. The recommendations are from a local-resident advisory board, as well as the
Mayor, and are based on in-depth review of applications submitted by local
organizations. These organizations, which are mostly non-profits, specialize in providing
services to Salt Lake City’s most economically vulnerable residents. For fiscal year 2025-
26, approximately $7.7 million dollars is expected to flow through the Division of
Housing Stability to the organizations ultimately selected by the Council. The HUD
programs that provide this funding and oversee activities of grant recipients are:
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership
Program, Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA). The resolution under consideration would also approve an
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between Salt Lake City and the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as well as the new fiscal year 2025-29
Consolidated Plan.
