City housing payments: grants, projects and delivery

Connect City payments to NNRHA projects, funding restrictions and completed work.

Overview

Map City payments, HUD drawdowns and housing grants to their specific projects. Compare award conditions, contractor payments and accepted deliverables.

Source notes

A payment total and a project authorization cover different stages of the funding trail. Program performance reports are not independent audits or complete City-to-NNRHA payment registers. Available resources, grant drawdowns, matching contributions and contractor payments are distinct measures. Report-generation dates are not transaction dates, and differently defined rehabilitation measures require reconciliation. Unexpended funds alone do not establish misuse. Household identifiers and private linkage details are excluded.

Timeline

Dates follow the cited records; document dates are labeled separately.

  1. July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025

    Rehabilitation spending reported; output measures differ

    The CAPER narrative reports approximately $523,201.14 in CDBG rehabilitation spending and 25 homes improved. Table 1 reports 19 in its homeowner-rehabilitation row; Table 12 reports 14 households supported through Residential Repair and HOMECARE, and its explanation reports 14 completed residential rehabilitation projects. The covered programs and counting rules need reconciliation before selecting a completed-work total.

  2. 2024–2025 CAPER

    City HOME matching contribution reported

    The HOME-match narrative reports receiving $100,000 from the City. The underlying payment, receipt and eventual project use remain to be reconciled.

  3. October 9, 2025 report

    CDBG resource and expenditure totals reconcile

    The appended HUD IDIS PR26 lists $3,400,000.55 available for Program Year 2024, $1,672,308.15 expended and $1,727,692.40 unexpended. Spending includes $318,949.73 for planning and administration. These are historical program-report totals; October 9 is the report date, not the date of individual payments.

  4. October 9, 2025 report

    Administration drawdowns separated by institution

    PR26 line 37 detail totals $212,905.00 across nine NNRHA-administration entries and $18,590.95 across two City-administration entries. These calculated sums are included within the $318,949.73 planning-and-administration total. They describe grant drawdowns by activity; underlying payment and cost-allocation records are needed to reconcile the expenditures.
