Description of Event
Every five years, the US Housing and Urban Department (HUD) requires the creation of a Consolidated Plan to assist the City in determining community needs and further provide a community-wide dialogue regarding affordable housing and community development priorities. On an annual basis, the City creates an Action Plan to report funding determinations that will further the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan and a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report the City’s performance. This Consolidated Plan is the strategic plan for allocating and leveraging these entitlement grants. It utilizes qualitative and quantitative data gathered through citizen participation from Public Forums, market analysis, and an assessment of the need to identify the highest priority needs in which to direct entitlement dollars.
