2019 Housing and Community Development Action Plan
Monday, April 1, 2019 at 3:47AM
The 2019 housing and community development draft action plan shows how Hennepin County and partner suburban cities plan to use approximately $4.7 million in federal funding for housing and development activities in suburban communities.
This funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through three federal programs:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - $2.9 million: Funding primarily used by cities to fund a variety of infrastructure, community development, and social service activities
- HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) - $1.8 million: Funds affordable housing development and preservation for very low- and low-income families or individuals, homeless families, and persons with disabilities.
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) - $230,000: Funding primarily used to rehouse people experiencing homelessness through short-term tenant-based rental assistance and supports.
Hennepin County will host a public hearing to gather comments and feedback on the draft plan:
Tuesday, April 16
