ST. LOUIS — A Board of Aldermen committee will review two housing measures Tuesday that could affect vacant properties and the city’s use of federal housing and community-development money.
The Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee is scheduled to meet at 11 a.m. in Kennedy Room 208 at City Hall. Board Bill 90 would establish a municipal receivership process for vacant nuisance property. The proposal describes court appointment of a receiver who could rehabilitate, demolish or sell a qualifying property. It also contains an emergency clause.
Board Bill 104 concerns the city’s 2027 Annual Action Plan for federal Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Emergency Solutions Grant and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS funds. The bill would authorize appropriations and contracts tied to that plan.
Both measures remain proposals. Placement on Tuesday’s agenda does not establish that either bill passed, and the committee could amend, hold or recommend legislation. Key reporting questions include which properties could qualify for receivership, how owners and lienholders would receive notice, and how the federal allocations would be divided among programs and neighborhoods.
The city lists an in-person and virtual attendance option and a process for public comment. Meeting and bill information is available on the official city calendar.
