Greetings! As St. Louis County begins the process of opening the FY2026 CDBG grant cycle, we invite you to attend its open house meetings located in Mountain Iron, MN, and Proctor, MN. The agenda and content will be the same at both meetings and will include an overview of the fiscal year 2024's accomplishments, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs.
In FY2024, St. Louis County distributed $1.8 million in federal funds to communities and nonprofit organizations within St. Louis County, excluding the City of Duluth. FY2024 CDBG funds assisted communities in the areas of economic development, housing, public service, and public infrastructure/community facilities. Examples include but are not limited to Chisholm's Memorial Park project, which increased accessibility through playground equipment and pour-and-play slabs. Housing projects such as One Roof Community Housing, funded the rehabilitation of two homes in southern St. Louis County, and North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity, assisted in the rehabilitation of two properties, one in Chisholm and one in Hibbing. Infrastructure projects included the communities of Hibbing, Aurora, Ely, and Tower. Twelve non-profit programs offering supportive services for low-income residents and those experiencing homelessness were also funded.
The public is encouraged to attend the discussions and ask any questions they may have regarding applying for funds. Questions about the open houses and public hearings or CDBG funds in general may be directed to Brad Gustafson at (218) 742-9563 or email: gustafsonb@stlouiscountymn.gov
