NEWPORT NEWS REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 18, 2026
TO: All Members, Board of Commissioners
FROM: Lysandra M. Shaw, Executive Director Ur
SUBJECT: Contract for Services between the NNRHA and City of Newport News for
the administration of the Community Development Block Grant Program for
2026-2027
Attached is a resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute contracts for
services between the City of Newport News and the Newport News Redevelopment and
Housing Authority for the administration of the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) for the 2026-2027 program year. The City Council approved the Consolidated
Plan for Housing and Community Development and the Annual Action Plan on August
11, 2026, and authorized the City Manager to execute contracts with NNRHA.
The Authority administers the CDBG program on behalf of the City of Newport
News. The CDBG program is a flexible US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) entitlement program that provides communities with resources to
address a wide range of unique community development needs. The City receives
annual entitlement grant funds to provide decent, affordable housing, services to the
most vulnerable in our communities, and to create jobs through the expansion and
retention of businesses.
One contract outlines specific programs for which the Authority has administrative and
program responsibilities. The second contract is for the programs the Authority
undertakes as a subrecipient to the City, including housing rehabilitation, real property
acquisition, and commercial loan activities. The resolution also authorizes the NNRHA
Executive Director to execute any necessary extensions for prior-year CDBG contracts
where funding has not been fully expended, ensuring previously awarded funds can
continue to be utilized in accordance with HUD program requirements.
The 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan budget for CDBG activities consists of
approximately $1,316,779 in 2026-2027 CDBG Entitlement Funds and $130,000 in
CDBG estimated program income for a total of $1,446,779.
Copy of the agreement will be submitted to Attorney Ray Suttle for his review and
approval.
Board approval of the attached resolution is recommended.Jump to an indexed page (62 of 62)
