Title
2018 CDBG Annual Action Plan
Body
Summary and Background Information:
In 2016, the City became an Entitlement Community and now directly received funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). As required by HUD, the City works through its Citizen Participation Plan to determine how the funds will be spent. The final document produced with this procedure is called the Annual Action Plan (AAP). The AAP then serves as the City’s application for the following years’ CDBG funding.
Consideration Number One - Adoption of the CDBG 2018 Annual Action Plan
The CDBG Office met all of the requirements in the Citizen Participation Plan. The 2018 Draft AAP incorporates the input from
Ø Formal Presentations to: 40 organizations - 151 people
Ø Meetings and Phone Interviews: 9 organizations - 13 people
Ø Presented to: 10 City Departments - 35 people
Ø Citizen Contact by Phone or E-mail: 12 people
For a total outreach of 175 people and 49 organizations.
