For FY 2016-2020, the City has anticipates $89.9 million in federal resources to be available through the four formula grants.
In order to determine the most pressing needs and develop effective, place-based market-driven strategies to meet these needs, HUD required the development of a FY 2016-2020 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.
