| | | | | | | | ITEM SUMMARY Public Hearing and consideration of a resolution of the City of Plano, Texas, adopting the 2025-2029 Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan, outlining the use of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and providing an effective date. Conducted and adopted Resolution No. 2025-4-5(R) with amendments. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data driven, place-based investment decisions every five years. These decisions dictate how HUD funds will be invested into the community for the benefit of low and moderate income residents during the five year time period. The five year Consolidated Plan of Housing and Community Development Needs (ConPlan) highlights plan priorities and identifies specific goals to be undertaken by the jurisdiction. The ConPlan is then carried out through annual Action Plans which state the activities to be carried out through the use of HUD funds. Progress towards ConPlan goals are reported annually through the submittal of the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The 2025-29 Consolidated Plan process included extensive outreach during the months between August 2024 and February 2025. Two public meetings, three service provider focus group meetings and numerous surveys assisted in identifying the community’s needs. After obtaining public input, U.S. Census Bureau data provided by HUD was evaluated to determine priority needs and specific goals to be addressed in the Plan.
A public meeting for the Plan was held at the Community Relations Commission Meeting on Thursday, November 21, 2024 and a public hearing is being held on Monday, April 14, 2025, during the City Council meeting. All comments received from the public by April 14, 2025, will be included in the Plan submission to HUD. |
