BACKGROUND:
Background
The City of Deltona is a HUD designated entitlement community and receives annual CDBG allocations, with up to 15% allowed for public service activities. Five applications were received and evaluated by City staff using a merit-based scoring system.
On September 3, 2025, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 2025-92, awarding Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia Counties, Inc. $10,041.71 (reduced from $14,958.30 to fund another applicant). Staff reviewed the final HUD approved CDBG application of $528,176.00, which set the Public Services cap at $79,266.40, leaving additional funds available. Staff recommends allocating $4,226.40 in additional funding, bringing the total award to $14,268.11.
The additional funding will support early childhood education services for City residents and aligns with the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan priorities.
