Consolidated Plan

The Consolidated Plan is designed to help local jurisdictions assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the two grant programs. The Consolidated Plan, which may have a duration of between 3 and 5 years, describes the City's community development priorities and multi-year goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of housing and economic market conditions and available resources.

Annual Action Plan

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.

HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)- American Rescue Plan (ARP)

Through the ARP Act of 2021 and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City received a one-time allocation of HOME-ARP funding, in the amount of $1,194,369. These funds are intended to address the need for housing and supportive services to the City’s homeless population. HOME-ARP funding must primarily benefit qualifying individuals and families who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, or other vulnerable populations.

Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)

The Building Homes and Job Act (Senate Bill 2) was enacted in 2017 and created a permanent source of funding for affordable housing in the State of California. Revenue is generated through recording fees on real estate transactions and therefore will fluctuate year to year depending upon activity. Each year, the City will receive an allocation based on the revenues generated in the prior year. The City prepared a five-year plan for spending the PLHA that was approved by City Council on July 13, 2020
