The committee discussed the CDBG attendance policy and strategies to maintain meeting momentum. Discussions covered the impact of recent natural disasters on CDBG programs, the importance of federal funding, and the potential for a committee member to attend the upcoming National Community Development Association legislative session. The group reviewed new initiatives, specifically the Residential Registry and Inspection Program, including its implementation challenges and funding options. Additionally, the committee revisited the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing and outlined vision goals for 2030, such as increasing homeownership rates, enhancing neighborhood accountability, and fostering effective citizen-government relationships.
