During the recent DeKalb County FAB Committee meeting held on June 10, 2025, discussions centered around the allocation and utilization of funds for plumbing repairs within the community. A significant point raised was the allocation of $138,000, which is earmarked for ongoing plumbing repair programs.

Committee members highlighted that the program is actively running, indicating a structured approach to addressing plumbing issues in the area. However, they acknowledged that there is currently a waiting list for services, suggesting a high demand for assistance. This situation underscores the challenges faced by the program in meeting community needs despite the available funding.

The committee emphasized that the delay in spending the allocated funds is not due to a lack of effort but rather a systematic process of working through the requests. This clarification is crucial as it reflects the committee's commitment to effectively managing resources while ensuring that residents receive the necessary support.

As the meeting concluded, it was clear that while progress is being made, the committee will need to continue addressing the waiting list and explore ways to expedite the plumbing repair process. The discussions highlighted the importance of transparency in government operations and the ongoing efforts to meet community needs in DeKalb County.
