 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is preparing the Commonwealth's Five Year Consolidated Plan 2009-2013 Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2010. The Program Year begins January 1, 2010. This document must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth and organizations within the State to receive funding under most HUD housing and community development programs. The Consolidated Plan creates a unified strategy for housing and community development programs, as well as the necessary linkages for building successful neighborhoods and communities.

 The Commonwealth's 2009-2013 Consolidated Plan Action Plan 2010 will address how the Commonwealth intends to allocate funds under the following programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Shelter Grant, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS, Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program, Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and Community Development Block Grant—Recovery.

Public Meeting
