SUMMARY:

The City has estimates an $89.8 million in total grant funding with $52.4 million (58%) in federal resources anticipated to be available for programs through the four formula grants over the next five years. As for the remaining $37.4 million, $23.9 million (27%) will be utilized for repayment of the HUD 108 Loan, and $13.5 million (15%) for administration.
In order to determine the most pressing needs and develop effective, place-based market-driven strategies to meet needs, HUD requires the development of a FY2016-2020 Consolidated Plan ("Consolidated Plan"). In developing the Consolidated Plan, the City gathered information through a number of methods, including a facilitated engagement session with 42 local stakeholders, four public meetings, a community survey, which received over 1,650 responses, and a review of available census and HUD data.
