BACKGROUND
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) administers three federal entitlement programs on behalf of Dakota County: The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program. Funds for the three federal entitlement programs are provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Treasury Letter of Credit process. In 2021, the Dakota County HOME Consortium, which includes Dakota, suburban Ramsey, Washington, and Anoka counties and the City of Woodbury, received a special allocation of HOME-American Rescue Plan Act funds. Per an annual subrecipient agreement between the CDA and Dakota County, the CDA must prepare a listing of all claims certified and paid for by the CDA for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. The listing must be submitted to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners for ratification on a quarterly basis. The attachment shows the entitlement and special allocation expenses for April 1, 2026-June 30, 2026.
