The City of Melbourne is preparing its Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, which outlines planned activities from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. This plan will address community development and housing needs identified in the city's 5-year Strategic Plan. The activities will be funded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), as well as the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP). The plan details how these funds will be used to meet housing and community development goals. This item is currently under review as part of the planning process. While specific projects are not yet detailed, the plan will guide future development and community improvement efforts. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, trades, and related fields should monitor the release of specific projects funded by these programs to identify potential opportunities for their services as plans are finalized.
