The City's Annual Action Plan summarizes the major housing and community development activities

States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs for the program year
beginning October 1, 2014 and ending September 30, 2015. This year's Action Plan also
summarizes the use of program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME
funds. The purpose of these grant funds is to primarily benefit low and moderate income City
residents, with ESG funds primarily benefiting homeless persons and HOPWA funds primarily
benefiting persons with HIV/AIDS.

Council at the Pre-Council meeting on June 10, 2014. Notice of a 30-day public comment period

2014. Any comments received will be maintained by the Housing and Economic Development
Department, in accordance with federal regulations. The City will hold two public hearings as part of
the HUD-required citizen participation process, the first on July 22, 2014 and the second on August 5,
