SUBJECT:The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates that

(CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs develop a Consolidated Plan (Con
Plan) every five years. This plan is designed to establish the city’s housing and community
development priorities, ensuring alignment with the objectives of the CDBG and HOME programs.
Serving as a comprehensive strategic framework, the Con Plan enables the city to assess affordable
housing and community development needs, evaluate market conditions, and make informed decisions
based on data analysis.
The Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) is implemented through Annual Action Plans (AAP), which provide
a comprehensive summary of the strategies, activities, and federal and non-federal resources allocated
each year to address the specific needs and objectives outlined in the Con Plan. The 2025-2029 Con
Plan includes the first year of the plan, the 2025-2026 AAP.

1.CDBG - $1,034,444

community for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan that includes the funding recommendations for the

approved by the City Council at the public hearing will be incorporated into the City’s 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan that includes the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan. This Plan covers the
period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which represents the first year of the City’s Five-Year 2025-
