STAFF REPORT
HUD Consolidated Plan
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intends to reduce the burden of
administering certain Housing and Community Development programs by consolidating the
planning and application requirements into a single housing and community development
consolidated plan and strategy.
The new housing and community development strategy will integrate the following submissions
into one consolidated plan document: the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CRAS), the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Final Statement, the Home
Investments Partnerships (HOME) Program Description, and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
Application.
The statutes for the grant programs set forth three basic goals which are closely related to the
major commitments and priorities ofHUD. Each of these goals must primarily benefit low- and
very low-income persons. First, the programs are to provide decent housing. Included within this
broad goal are the following: assist homeless persons to obtain affordable housing; retain the
affordable housing stock; and increase the availability of permanent housing that includes
structural features and services to enable persons with special needs to live in dignity. Second,
the programs are to provide a suitable living environment. This includes improving the safety and
livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality facilities and services; reducing the
isolation of income groups within areas by deconcentrating housing opportunities and revitalizing
deteriorating neighborhoods; restoring and preserving natural and physical features of special
value for historic, architectural, or aesthetic reasons; and conserving energy resources. The third
major statutory goal of the programs is to expand economic opportunities. Within this goal are
creating jobs accessible to low- and very low-income persons; providing access to credit for
community development that promotes long-term economic and social viability; and empowering
low- and very low-income persons in federally assisted and public housing achieve self-
sufficiency.
The consolidated strategy and plan furthers the statutory goals through a collaborative process
whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development actions.
Consolidating the submission requirements offer local jurisdictions a better chance to shape the
various programs into effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development
strategies. It also creates the opportunity for strategic planning and citizen participation to take
place in a comprehensive context, and to reduce duplication of effort at the local level.
