2005-2006 program year and which were approved for funding by Council on May 17, 2005.
BACKGROUND
The 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan was undertaken as a requirement of the U.S. Department of

Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds. The Plan identifies activities to be
undertaken in the upcoming year which address the priority needs of the community. The 2005-
2009 Consolidated Plan identifies community development and affordable housing needs in the
community, and develops a Five Year Strategic Plan to prioritize those needs. Each year, the City
must implement a one-year action plan to address those needs with projects which use CDBG and
HOME federal grant funding and other private and public resources. The Action Plan portion of
the Consolidated Plan is based on the funding allocations approved by Council on May 17, 2005
which allocate CDBG and HOME anticipated funding through the local grant programs authorized
by HUD.Funds released upon approval of the Consolidated Plan will be available to these agencies
on October 1, 2005.
