9. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2024-25 The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate-income persons. To participate in the CDBG program, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan that identifies needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public services, and economic opportunities. The Consolidated Plan is required every five (5) years and was most recently adopted by the City Council on April 21, 2020. Annually, the City is also required to prepare a one-year Action Plan that implements the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan.
