Comment Period Set on Proposed Annual Action Plan

The City of Taylorsville will begin accepting citizen comments on April 12 for the proposed Annual Action Plan and PY 2026-2027 CDBG and HOME Funding Recommendations.

The Annual Action Plan is an effort to implement the Consolidated Plan and outlines goals, objectives, measurement indicators and projects for each program year. The Consolidated Plan provides a strategy for carrying out the City’s HUD programs and an Action Plan for assessing performance of programs.

A copy of the Annual Action Plan is available for review at Taylorsville City offices (2600 W. Taylorsville Blvd). Public comments are encouraged and can be submitted in writing to Grant Allen, gallen@taylorsvilleut.gov between April 12 and May 12. Any comments received will be considered by CDBG staff when finalizing the plan. Formal adoption of the funding recommendations and Annual Action Plan will occur during the May 20 City Council Meeting.

FAQs

What is CDBG?

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federally funded grant program designed to help communities with their greatest community development needs. Community projects that are supported by CDBG funds must be designed to principally benefit low and moderate-income families.
What is the purpose of the CDBG program?

The program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income persons.
Is CDBG a federal entitlement program?

Yes. Cities with populations of at least 50,000 are entitled to receive annual grants. HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grant by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
Does Taylorsville qualify for this grant program?

Yes. The 2005 estimated population for Taylorsville, Utah is 60,988. Taylorsville became a CDBG “entitlement community” in 1997, which occurred shortly after municipal incorporation on July 1, 1996.
How does Taylorsville use CDBG funds?

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires entitlement communities to create a Consolidated One Year Action Plan and a Consolidated Five Year Action Plan. These "action plans" are intended to ensure that city officials properly administrate CDBG funds in a manner that is consistent with community goals and compliant with federal restrictions. The city is required to hold at least two public hearings to receive comments on a proposed action plan prior to adoption. The Department of Housing and Urban Development must approve the adopted action plans prior to the release of CDBG allocations.
Where can I learn more?
Federal administration of the CDBG program is through the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), which is a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
