Greenbelt secures HUD service coordinator grant for Green Ridge House

City Manager Mr. Someron told the council the city has received a signed grant agreement from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to continue funding a service coordinator position at Green Ridge House. The manager said the signed agreement arrived this week and resolves recent resident and council concerns about possible loss of funding for that position.

During council questions, members asked whether the grant contained any new stipulations or federal requirements that would affect the city’s obligations. Mr. Someron said he had reviewed the agreement and did not identify new stipulations such as federal certification or other language that would raise compliance concerns. Council requested that staff provide the grant documentation to the council if any additional questions arise.

The grant agreement was reported as an administrative update; council did not take separate formal action on the item during the meeting.
