Title
Consider public testimony regarding the development of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan.
Body
The Office of Community Development is requesting public testimony on the needs of the low to moderate income residents in Round Rock. Any comments recevied at this public hearing will be taken into consideration during the development of the 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan. The 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan is a component of the Consolidated Plan that is submitted for HUD each August, and also serves as the community's annual application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The Action Plan will detail the proposed community development programs and activities for the year, and explains how they address the priorities and goals expressed in the Consolidated Plan. The Annual Community Needs Assessment Public Hearings also have a significant role in shaping the Annual Action Plan.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 91.105 (e) requires that a Needs Assessment Public Hearing be held per year to obtain citizens' views on community needs for the preparation of an annual plan.
The Consolidated Plan is a five year plan required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that serves as a strategy to address the needs of low and moderate income residents of Round Rock.
