Body
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development requires entitlement communities to prepare an Annual Action Plan in order to receive federal housing and community development funding. The Action Plan designates the City's proposal on how to spend the grant funds in a given program year to meet the priorities and needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan states how the City plans to allocate the CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2025.
The Annual Action Plan attached reflects staff's original funding recommendation. If the City Council approves an alternate option, staff will update the Annual Action Plan to reflect the approved funding recommendation.
