Title
Presentation: CDBG 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Kick-Off
Body
This is an informational discussion item to promote awareness for the upcoming 2025-2029 Con Plan, which is required for the administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Background
As a CDBG funding recipient, the City is required to develop and implement a Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) every 5 years. The Con Plan is designed to help the City assess their affordable housing and community development needs, along with market conditions, to make attainable, data-driven goals. Prior to implementing the Con Plan, the City must complete an Analysis of Impediments (AI) report. The AI is used as a tool for public awareness regarding the current fair housing choices within our City.
The City has selected Mosaic Community Planning as a contractual service to provide the facilitation and development of the 2025-29 Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments. Mosaic will work closely with Development Services staff to meet all required HUD guidelines and submissions.
