CDBG-CV HVAC Improvements Program Public Hearing
Due to the pandemic, local government entities have to take actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In the CARES Act, HUD was allocated funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the virus. The Louisiana Office of Community Development (OCD) has allocated $31,000,000 in HUD funding for upgrades to HVAC and ventilation systems. According to CDC, upgrades/modifications to HVAC systems can improve air quality and minimize the spread of airborne infectious diseases. Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government (TPCG) intends to apply to OCD for funds to upgrade/modify HVAC and ventilation systems in CDBG–eligible publicly-owned community facilities to reduce the spread of the virus.
A public hearing to discuss TPCG’s project completion will be held at the following location:
Department of Housing & Human Services
