BACKGROUND: As a recipient of funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City is required to develop an Annual Action Plan that provides a summary of the activities and resources that will be used to address goals of the City's 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan.
The development of the Plan was the result of an extensive citizen participation and consultation process involving city residents, commissions, neighborhood associations, community agencies, City staff, and others interested in housing, non-housing, and community development needs of the City. The City held advertised public hearings, community meetings, and attended various agency meetings.
