CDBG_PRO_Housing_Detailed_Project_Budget_.xlsx

This is a detailed project budget template for the Community Development Block Grant Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (CDBG PRO Housing) Program administered by the Dane County Department of Human Services in Wisconsin, with funding provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The budget document outlines allowable costs for municipalities implementing planning and policy activities designed to remove zoning, permitting, and building code barriers to affordable housing. Eligible cost categories include municipal staff time for planning and project coordination, professional services such as architectural and engineering consultation, legal services for ordinance drafting, community engagement activities including public meetings and surveys, environmental reviews, impact fees, and other direct costs such as printing materials and travel. The RFP was released on March 23, 2026, with a proposal response deadline of April 24, 2026 at 11:59 p.m., with awards estimated for Summer/Fall 2026. Projects must be submitted as either Category A (36-month implementation with 60% completion within 24 months and 100% within 36 months) or Category B (24-month implementation with 60% completion within 18 months and 100% within 24 months). The resulting contract shall be effective upon execution for one year with mutual renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods.

The budget template provided contains all zero dollar amounts, serving as a planning tool for municipalities to itemize costs by major task or activity including zoning analysis, housing barrier assessment, ordinance drafting, and permitting review. Administrative costs cannot be billed to the contract; only direct project delivery costs are reimbursable. Pricing is structured as reimbursement-based payments contingent upon achievement of specified milestones and completion of County-approved deliverables. This solicitation is exclusively open to municipalities located within Dane County, with applications submitted electronically through the Dane County eProcurement Portal. Local vendor preferences extend five additional evaluation points to Dane County vendors and two points to adjacent county vendors. No specific award values or maximum budget limits are stated in the available documentation; funding appears to be allocated from HUD's broader PRO Housing program, though the Dane County municipal allocation amounts are not specified.
