Policy
§ The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates the development of an Annual Action Plan (Plan) to receive federal funding for housing and community development activities.
§ The Plan supports the City’s approved Housing Charlotte Framework to preserve existing housing, expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing, and support family self-sufficiency.
Community Input
§ A draft copy of the Plan was published to the City’s website with paper copies available by request. The documents were available in English and Spanish.
§ Consistent with HUD’s requirements, Housing and Neighborhood Services convened two virtual public forums to receive input for the development of the Plan. Advertised in the Charlotte Observer and La Noticia, the sessions were held virtually on February 15 and February 17, 2022.
§ On April 11, 2022, City Council held a public hearing on the Plan. No comments were received.
Explanation
§ The Plan includes housing and community development needs and resources for the City and the Regional Housing Consortium.
§ The Regional Housing Consortium is a partnership amongst the City, Mecklenburg County, and the towns of Cornelius, Pineville, Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, and Davidson.
§ In Fiscal Year 2023, the City expects to receive the following federal funding allocations, totaling $12,917,450:
− Community Development Block Grant: $5,626,717
− HOME Investment Partnerships: $3,529,948
− Emergency Solution Grants: $500,399, and
