McBride Presenter: Daniel Best SUBJECT: Briefing on Consolidated 5 Year Plan AGENDA ITEM: IV. A ACTION REQUESTED: None BACKGROUND STATEMENT: Daniel Best, Neighborhood Grant Administrator, will be presenting the City of Hampton is undertaking a Five (5) Year 2016-2020 Consolidated Planning process to determine the City’s Housing and Community Planning and Development needs and to determine the best use of resources to address those needs. The planning process will result in the development of an Annual Action Plan which will outline the City’s prioritized needs and the use of available resources to address those needs for the upcoming fiscal year 2016- 2017. The anticipated Federal “housing and community development” resources include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Funds and the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Entitlement Funds. CDBG funds must meet national objectives of benefiting low and moderate income citizens, aiding in the elimination of slum and blight and meeting an urgent need (i.e. national disas- ter). HOME funds must benefit low and moderate income citizens. The City’s overall goal is to provide citizens with decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded econom- ic opportunities. One of the most critical components of the Consolidated Planning process is the feedback from the citizens and public agencies regarding the City’s (1) affordable housing needs; (2) homeless/special needs housing needs; and (3) non-housing community development needs.
