Opening CDBG funds to the ARA
Summary
Staff proposed changing the city's CDBG policy so the Redevelopment Authority can be a first-tier annual recipient of federal block grant money, like the Appleton Housing Authority. The change needs CDBG Advisory Committee, Community Development Committee, and Common Council approval, with the earliest funding likely in the 2028 budget year.

Impact analysis
The city receives roughly $550,000–$600,000 in CDBG funds annually; a share could flow to ARA projects starting in 2028.
ARA redevelopment projects in low-to-moderate income areas or blighted sites.
Other CDBG applicants could face more competition for the same annual allocation.
