2027 One-Year Action Plan for HUD Grants

At a glance

• What: The city's 2027 One-Year Action Plan, which lists how about $9.6 million in federal housing and community development money (Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Emergency Solutions Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS) will be spent. Presented by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA).
• Where it stands: Approved by voice vote on October 13, 2026 (discussion calendar item 25); Councilmember Maple was absent.
• Funding as stated: about $4.9 million Community Development Block Grant, $2.1 million HOME, $400,000 Emergency Solutions Grant, $2.2 million Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (figures as heard in the captions). The block grant portion splits roughly $1.55 million public facilities, $405,000 housing and homeownership, $670,000 public services, $790,000 planning and administration, $1.2 million federal loan repayments and $195,000 capital reserve.
• Projects named: five neighborhood infrastructure projects (about $1.45 million plus $100,000 environmental review), including bicycle improvements in Districts 2 and 6 (Fruitridge Road), ballfield and playground work in Districts 4 and 7, and fitness equipment and a playground at the 24th Street bypass in District 8.
• Main concern: the federal Section 108 loan repayment ($1.29 million in 2027, scheduled through 2039, variable rate up about 2.5 percent since 2019) consumes much of the block grant. Councilmember Kaplan asked what can be done; staff said HUD has not offered refinancing, and they plan to return to council with options to buy down or restructure the loan.
• What's next: staff to bring loan options back to council.
