KRIEG AIC P DIRECTOR Notice to City Council We are pleased to submit the CDBG Annual Allocation Committee's recommended budget allocations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the 2026-2027 Program Year. The information below is intended to provide context for the Committee's role, and explain how its feedback informed staff recommendations for this year's slate of activities. The committee's role was not to make final funding decisions, but rather to provide feedback, participate in guided discussions regarding community needs and priorities, and offer perspectives on the strengths, challenges, and potential impacts of proposed projects. Committee members reviewed applications, attended applicant presentations, and engaged in structured discussions facilitated by City staff. Through this process, members were encouraged to consider how each proposal aligned with the goals of the City's Consolidated Plan, addressed identified community needs, and demonstrated the capacity to achieve measurable outcomes. The committee's observations and recommendations were then considered by staff as part of the development of the final funding recommendations presented to the City Council. On April 17, 2026, HUD released the 2026-2027 CDBG allocations for Entitlement Communities. Together with a projection of unused funding carried over and estimations of funds for planning, administration, and public services, the City of Bangor's allocation is represented in the table below. CDBG ALLOCATION Year 53 FY 26-27 Planning and Administration Cap $217,444 Social Service Cap $155,733 Eligible Activities $464,044 Anticipated Program Income $250,000 Unused Funds Carried Forward ............. ....... ---................. - ............. .........--..........---..............--........... $390,439 .--....-$-1 TOTAL 462 01­5 The Agency's expenditure cap for planning and administration is equal to twenty percent of the total amount of entitlement funds, combined with the total amount of program income received in the current year. The statutory cap on expenditures for public service projects is equal to fifteen percent of the total amount of entitlement funds plus the total program income received in the preceding year. The total amount of unused funds, less unliquidated obligations, are reprogrammed for spending in FY 2026. Program Income projections are based on a five-year average of receipts sourced from revolving loan payments. 73 HARLOW STREET, BANGOR, ME 04401 TELEl7E-1ONE: (207) 992-4280 FAX: (207) 945-4447 WWW BANGOR.MAINE.GOV APPLICATION PROCESS AND REVIEW The City released its Notice of Funding Available (NOFA) on April 7, 2026, coinciding with Community Development Week. The mandatory applicant's meeting was held on April 241h in the Paul Bunyan Room of City Hall. The Neighborly Portal CDBG Application was active on April 9; Submissions were due on Friday, May 8, 2026 by 11:59 pm. We received eight applications from external (non -City) applicants and four proposals from City Staff. Just one of the applications addressed a social service activity while the remainder were projects or programs addressing housing or infrastructure needs. The Allocation Committee Review and Funding Methods The Committee first met for this funding year on April 24, 2026 to discuss the CDBG program, eligible activities, funding requests, and to interview the applicants. In future years, the Committee will begin these meetings earlier in the year to recruit new members. We would like to encourage anyone interested in serving on this committee to consider joining us in the fall during our planning meeting. The Community Development Staff coordinated the applications with a technical overview during the pre -application period to ensure that each application met basic requirements. These findings were presented to the Committee before each individual applicant was invited to presentation their proposal during the annual "Open Mic Night" Committee members read each application individually prior to the meeting in which the application was to be reviewed and discussed as a group. When questions about the applications arose, staff documented the questions and forwarded them to the applicant to respond, and applicant responses were then shared with the Committee and reviewed. Allocation Committee members then scored each application individually, using the scoring matrix structured in accordance with the community needs identified in the Consolidated Action Plan and priorities established by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY With the exception of projects proposed by the City, which were not scored, all applications considered complete received a passing score. Therefore, the Committee does not object to any proposal receiving funds. Where applicable, the Committee supports the full funding award for each request. The Allocation process also evaluated the broad funding categories of Administration and Planning, or requests from City Departments. CDBG Programs such as the Homebuyer Assistance Program and Residential Rehabilitation are based on statutory restrictions on spending as well as typical demand for these services. The City's rehabilitation services are systematically funded by returning payments from previous customers. In recent years, demand for the program has been higher as costs become more difficult for homeowners to manage. In 2026-2027, the City hopes to support more homebuyers by allocating 50% more funding toward the program. The Community Development Division also designed a funding proposal on behalf of the Livable Communities Committee to address lifelong challenges of accessibility and community cohesion in Bangor. Unused funding at the end of the year will be reprogrammed the following year by this Committee. 2 1. Development Activities Funding The City received six (6) applications from external applicants requesting a total of $222,751, and one application from a City Departments to carry out $75,000 in eligible development activities.

Penobscot Community Health Care "Gaps in Care" Fund $25,000 These funds will be used to pay for eligible costs that prevent or alleviate housing or social distress that contribute to poor health outcomes, when no other.funding source can be identified. 3. Internal/Program Funding In addition to grantmaking for subrecipients, the City of Bangor funds specific programs internally for its constituents and eligible beneficiaries. The Committee reviewed the remaining funds available to decide how to allocate toward these key programs. City of Bangor Parks and Recreation — Coe Park $233,000 These funds will be used to replace aging playground equipment at Coe Park. Previously, funds were awarded for Williams Park in 2024, but the ro lect was never completed. City of Bangor Public Works — Infrastructure $75,000 This fund may be used for an infrastructure project in a low- to moderate - income neighborhood; the DPW has not yet identified an eligible prolect.

City of Bangor Homebuyer Partnership Program $150,000 This program offers eligible first-time homebuyers a grant toward the costs ofpurchasing a home within the City o Ban or. REMAINING FUNDS IN RESERVE (After all funding requests) $305,311 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS The FY 2026 CDBG allocation process represented a significant departure from prior years and was intentionally designed to increase transparency, public participation, and accountability in the use of federal community development funds. Historically, funding recommendations were developed through a more staff -driven process. While that approach met program requirements, it offered limited opportunities for residents and stakeholders to participate directly in funding discussions or to better understand how allocation decisions were made. In response, staff developed a structured public review process that included applicant presentations, committee deliberations, and opportunities for public input. This process was intentionally designed to strengthen public trust by creating a clear connection among community needs, project outcomes, and funding decisions. Committee members were encouraged to evaluate proposals not only on organizational need but also on measurable community impact, alignment with Consolidated Plan priorities, and applicants' ability to demonstrate results and accountability. The process also created a meaningful opportunity for civic engagement. Residents who care deeply about housing, neighborhood revitalization, economic opportunity, and public services were given a direct role in shaping how federal resources are invested in Bangor. Through their participation, committee members gained a deeper understanding of local challenges, the work of community organizations, and the difficult choices required when funding is limited. While no allocation process is perfect, we believe this model represents an important step toward a more collaborative approach to community development. As the process evolves in future years, staff will continue to evaluate opportunities for improvement while preserving the core principles of openness, engagement, and public involvement that guided this year's effort.
