On an annual basis, the City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program funds. In order to receive these grant funds, the City must adopt a Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan serves as the City’s 5-year planning document for the use of the funds. The Consolidated Plan is carried out each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) through an Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan provides a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. The City’s current Consolidated Plan was adopted by the City Council in April 2020 and was submitted to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in May 2020.
The City’s Citizen Participation Plan states that the City shall amend the approved Annual Action Plan if a “substantial change” is proposed by City staff or the City Council. For the purpose of the Action Plan, a “substantial change” is defined as:
- Carrying out an activity not previously described in the Action Plan;
- Canceling an activity previously described in the Action Plan;
- Increasing or decreasing the amount to be expended on a particular activity from the amount stated in the Action Plan by more than 50 percent; or
- Substantially changing the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity.
The proposed changes meet one of these four criteria, and so require substantial amendments to PY 2022-2023 and PY 2023-2024 Annual Action Plans. Please click here to view the proposed changes.
