The City of Jacksonville's Finance Committee has approved an ordinance that will allow the city to accept federal Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The ordinance was approved by the Finance Committee on May 19, 2026, and by the City Council on May 26, 2026. This approval means the city can now use these federal funds for local projects. The specific projects and their scope of work are not detailed in this item, but the funding mechanism is now in place. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work funded by these grants should monitor city announcements for specific project details as they become available. Early engagement with city departments responsible for CDBG fund allocation could provide insight into upcoming opportunities.
