Body
BACKGROUND:
This agenda item is to hold a public hearing and receive comments on the proposed Program Years 2024-2028 Community Development Block Grant Consolidated Plan which incorporates Program Year (PY) 2024 One-Year Action Plan and Budget. The item also includes a proposed resolution to adopt these plans for submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD).
On October 1, 2024, the City of Carrollton will receive $711,716 in new funding for the PY 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from HUD. According to federal law, these funds must be used to benefit persons of low- to moderate-income in Carrollton to address community development concerns. In addition to the annual Action Plan, every five years HUD requires that grantees conduct a more comprehensive assessment of community status and needs, known as the Consolidated Plan. This Consolidated Plan will cover the five program years beginning October 2024 to September 2028. In March, the city contracted with Grow America under RFP #23-044 to conduct this assessment which includes extensive demographic analysis and community input.
In order to receive public input on the proposed plans, two public hearings were held on July 25, 2024, a morning session in the Council Chambers and during the Neighborhood Advisory Commission (NAC) July 25, 2024 meeting, and a third public hearing on August 6th, 2024 during the scheduled City Council meeting.
