CDBG/HOME Minor Home Repair

How it works

Dane County uses its annual CDBG and HOME allocation process to fund local projects through competitive RFPs. The 2027 CDBG/HOME RFPs are open to the public, and applicants submit proposals through the County of Dane Procurement Portal in OpenGov.

Once the RFP window closes, an Application Review Team, which the page describes as a subcommittee of the CDBG Commission, meets to review and score applications. The team makes preliminary funding recommendations to the CDBG Commission, followed by final recommendations at a public hearing. The recommendations are then reviewed and approved by the CDBG Commission, the Dane County Personnel and Finance Committee, and the Dane County Board of Supervisors.

What the money covers

The page lists a specific funding category called CDBG - Minor Home Repair. It does not break out eligible repair items for this category on the funding-opportunities page, but it is clearly identified as a home repair program within the CDBG/HOME portfolio.

Amounts and matching

The county’s public materials state that Minor Home Repair can provide up to $7,500 in grant assistance toward home repair.

How to apply

Applicants must apply through the Dane County OpenGov Procurement Portal during the annual RFP cycle.

Timing and deadlines

The page says the 2027 CDBG/HOME RFPs are now open to the public. It also notes that inquiries regarding the 2026 CDBG & HOME RFPs had to be submitted by May 29, 2026 at 5:00pm, with responses posted by June 5, 2026. No separate closing date for the 2027 Minor Home Repair category is given on the page.
