Each year Dane County develops an Annual Action Plan for the expenditure of CDBG and HOME funds expected to be received by HUD for the following calendar year. Action Plans are developed as part of a 5-Year Consolidated Plan which provides the basis and strategy for the use of federal funds allocated to Dane County over the five year period. The Annual Action and Consolidated Plans are developed with significant citizen participation outreach and consultation including public hearings, surveys, and focus groups.
CDBG and HOME Funding Categories are based on the five-year Consolidated Plan
The 2027 CDBG & HOME RFPs will be issued later this Spring. Interested applicants will submit proposals using the OpenGov Procurement Portal: County of Dane Procurement Portal. After the RFP window closes, the Application Review Team (a subcommittee of the CDBG Commission), will meet to review and score applications. They will make preliminary funding recommendations to the CDBG Commission, and final recommendations at a scheduled public hearing. All funding recommendations are reviewed and approved by the CDBG Commission, the Dane County Personnel and Finance Committee, and the Dane County Board of Supervisors. All meetings are publicly noticed.
The CDBG/HOME team will hold two workshops on the 2027 Request for Proposals (RFP) and application cycle for the 2027 CDBG/HOME Funds. Registration is required.
Workshop Dates:

In 2024, the CDBG/HOME Unit issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), soliciting applications for the 2025 grant funding. Agencies that were awarded funding provided project goals and outcomes that were in line with the 5-year Consolidated Plan, and will be included in the 2025 Annual Action Plan. The 2025 CDBG/HOME Grant Awards can be viewed HERE. Note that grant award amounts are subject to change and are contingent upon Dane County’s 2025 CDBG & HOME grants from HUD.
