Every five years, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires formula grantees such as the City of Hartford to complete and adopt a five-year Consolidated Plan in order to receive funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA) formula grant programs.
Consolidated Planning is a comprehensive process that identifies housing, homeless, community and economic development needs and resources. The plan outlines how those needs will be met and establishes priorities and performance measures to gauge whether activities set in motion by the plan actually address those priorities.
