Pembroke Pines approves estimated $1.07 million CDBG plan
The Pembroke Pines City Commission approved the city’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant action plan on May 6 and authorized the city manager to submit it to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The plan anticipates an estimated $1,070,664 in federal CDBG funding for Pembroke Pines. The money is tied to the city’s 2026 program year, which runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.
The action gives the city a path to move the plan forward, but it does not mean HUD has already disbursed the funding. The resolution describes the allocation as estimated, so the amount may change after federal review.
What the commission approved
The commission approved the city’s 2026 CDBG Action Plan and authorized the city manager to submit it to HUD. The city manager also received authority to execute documents required for the submission and administration of the plan.
The resolution allows amendments to the action plan. That provision gives the city a way to revise the plan as the federal process proceeds, although the available resolution excerpt does not specify what changes may be made or whether any particular amendment is planned.
Community Development Block Grant funding is federal funding used for community-development purposes. For Pembroke Pines, the approved plan establishes the city’s framework for its anticipated allocation during the upcoming program year.
Projects are not detailed in the available record
The city’s approval sets the funding process and program-year window, but the available resolution excerpt does not list the individual projects or spending categories included in the action plan.
That means the record supports the estimated total and the city’s authorization to submit the plan, but it does not support assigning specific housing, infrastructure or social-service projects to the funding. The practical local impact will depend on the final plan and how the available funds are allocated.
Residents looking for a project-by-project breakdown would need the complete action-plan attachment or later city documentation. The approved resolution alone does not identify which neighborhoods, facilities, services or types of work would receive funding.
Next step is submission to HUD
The next known step is the city’s submission of the approved action plan to HUD. Federal review remains part of the process, and the estimated $1,070,664 allocation could change before funding is finalized.
The approved program year begins October 1, 2026, and ends September 30, 2027. Until the federal review and submission process are complete, the action represents an approved city plan and anticipated federal support—not money already received by Pembroke Pines.
The decision places the city’s federal community-development funding plan on the public record while leaving the detailed project list and final funding amount to subsequent documentation and review.
