There were no work sessions with the City Council. The public hearings were held to solicit comments on the community development and affordable housing needs of the city. These comments were used to guide decisions concerning the allocation of CDBG, HOME, the City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and Human Services Program (HSP) monies during the next program year. The regular meetings were held to review the Spring and Fall Competitive Process applications for community development and affordable housing proposals, and to monitor progress of the CDBG and HOME Programs, as well as the use of AHF and HSP dollars. The Commission provided recommendations to City Council members concerning the expenditure of the City’s FY 2009 CDBG grant and the FY 2009 HOME grant, as well as the City’s AHF and HSP monies.
