From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the Lafayette City Council and Lafayette Parish Council adopted Ordinance No. JO-049-2026 to transfer $200,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds within the Community Development and Planning Department to the Housing Loans Program. The money was for First Time Home Buyer loan activities and other CDBG-eligible in-house loan activities, including tandem housing rehab loans noted in the department memo.
The transfer was contingent on environmental review completion and a finding of no significant impact. The ordinance was approved by both councils and then signed by the Mayor-President on October 22, 2026.
