A Public Hearing will be held via Teams regarding the city’s 2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan’s 2021 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment to add the HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program.

The city administers federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and has received an award of $9,923,076 in HOME-ARP funding. Of this allocation amount, $9,900,000 will be for the development of affordable rental housing for low-income occupants with the remaining allocated towards the administration of the program and subsequent projects. Before the city may deploy these funds for affordable housing for the city’s at-risk occupants, the city is required to publish and otherwise make available the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan in a manner that allows residents, public agencies, and other interested parties a reasonable opportunity to review and submit comments. All interested parties are welcome to participate in the meeting.

The 2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan’s reports and the Draft HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, as well as a forthcoming recording of the meeting, can be viewed on the city’s website:
