Item 69 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This resolution adopts Austin's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Action Plan, the roadmap the city uses to apply for federal grant dollars from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It also greenlights the City Manager to submit those grant applications and certifications and do what's needed to lock in the funding. The Action Plan matters because it's how Austin taps into HUD money that supports housing and community programs. Per the source text, approving the resolution has no immediate fiscal impact; any dollar figures come later if the grants are secured.
