Background:
Pursuant to the Housing Act of 1974, HUD requires all local municipalities and urban counties to prepare local planning documents as a condition of receiving federal assistance. Federal Regulation 24 CFR Part 91 governs the local plan submission and requires that each municipality submit a Consolidated Plan every five years and an Annual Action Plan each fiscal year. Citizen participation is integral to the development of the Plan. The City as a grantee is required to provide at least two public hearings per year to obtain the public’s views and to respond to proposals and questions. The first "Needs Assessment" meeting, advertised in the July 12, 2025 issue of the Sun Sentinel, was held in the First Floor Conference Room on July 17, 2025. The item is set to appear before City Commission on August 12, 2025. Only comments from the public which are not accepted must be summarized and included in the final plan as an attachment. All reportable comments will be attached to the plan as supporting documentation. The plan and proposed budget is unanimously supported by the public as presented. This plan has been developed in accordance with the stated regulations.
The attached Five Year Consolidated Plan provides a description of the City's plan to utilize CDBG funding for activities and programs in the next five years and FY2025-2026. The City CDBG entitlement for FY 2025-2026 will be $ 457,791 and has been categorized by the following objectives:
