MARYSVILLE—The City of Marysville has opened its draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan for public review and comment. The draft plan includes 2025 recommendations for allocating federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for local projects and programs that serve low- to moderate-income Marysville residents.
The city expects to receive $365,000 in federal funds in 2025 under the CDBG program. The draft plan recommends using those funds for:
- assistance to elderly and functionally disabled adults at risk of losing their independence or becoming homeless (Catholic Community Services)
- meals for low-income senior citizens and disabled adults (Meals on Wheels) and low-income school children (Food for Thought backpack program)
- minor home repairs for low-income seniors and disabled adults (Homage Senior Services)
- supportive housing with priority given for homeless families (Housing Hope)
- updated lighting and wider sidewalks for ADA compliance at Comeford Park
- solar roof panels at Marysville Community Food Bank.
