About the plan
The draft 2022 Action Plan sets priorities and direction for allocating approximately $6.2 million in City-directed federal funding to assist families and help low-income neighborhoods. Funding supports affordable housing, homelessness prevention, economic development, non-profit assistance and neighborhood improvements for low-income populations. Funding programs include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).
The draft plan will be available for public review and comment today through Jan. 12, 2022.
