CONSOLIDATED PLAN (PLAN) <br />The City must prepare, adopt and submit a three or five year Consolidated Plan (Plan) to HUD. <br />The Plan is a strategic policy document for meeting the needs of low-income community <br />members. The Consolidated Plan is designed to help local jurisdictions assess their affordable <br />housing and community development needs and market conditions, and make data -driven, <br />place -based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework <br />for a community -wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that <br />align and focus funding from HUD formula block grant programs, such as CDBG and HOME. <br />The Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the <br />actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year <br />to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. <br />The City will consult with other public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health <br />services, and social services, including those focusing on services to children, elderly persons, <br />persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons, <br />community-based and regionally -based organizations that represent protected class members <br />and organizations that enforce fair housing laws when preparing the Plan. The City will also <br />consult with public housing authorities (PHAs) operating in the jurisdiction. The consultation <br />process will include consultation with regional government agencies in addition to adjacent units <br />of general local government and local government agencies. This includes local government <br />agencies with metropolitan -wide planning and transportation responsibilities, particularly for <br />problems and solutions that go beyond a single jurisdiction. <br />Public meetings will be held at a time and location convenient to the general public, with <br />accessibility and/or accommodations for persons with disabilities and, if possible, <br />accommodation of non-English translation assistance when appropriate. The City shall <br />encourage, in conjunction with public housing agency consultations, participation of residents of <br />public and assisted housing developments, including any resident advisory boards, resident <br />councils, and resident management corporations, in the process of developing and <br />implementing the Plan, along with other low-income residents of targeted revitalization areas in <br />which the developments are located. The will accept any comments or views received from the <br />public in preparing the final Plan and shall submit such comments to the HHCC as appropriate <br />for their consideration in adopting the final Plan. A summary of any comments or views shall be <br />attached to the final Plan. <br />Il <br />
