NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES MEMORANDUM
May 9, 2012
TO: Community Development Authority
FROM: Jennifer Petruzzello, Neighborhood Services Director
SUBJECT: Agenda Item 6: Review and Action on Consolidated Plan 2013 Action Plan
(Community Development Block Grant and HOME Programs) Timetable
and Citizen Participation Process.
Each year, the City of Janesville receives Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds as part of the Rock
County Consortium. These funds are awarded on a non-competitive formula basis. As
a formula grantee, certain planning and reporting requirements must be met.
Every five years a Consolidated Plan is developed, followed by annual “Action Plan”
based on the five-year plan. In 2009, the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan was developed.
The five-year
The Action Plan submitted for 2013 will be based on this five year plan.
Consolidated Plan outlines the general housing and community development
needs and strategies to fill those needs. The annual Action Plan indicates how
CDBG and HOME funds are to be expended during the specific fiscal year.
There are specific citizen participation requirements for the preparation of the
Consolidated Plan Annual Action Plan. These include holding at least one public
hearing during the development of the plan, publishing the plan (or a summary of it) and
allowing a 30 day review period for comments before the plan is submitted to HUD.
The proposed time frame includes a public hearing, the CDA setting of priorities, the
acceptance and review of applications for public service activities, and the allocation of
CDBG and HOME funds for the upcoming budget year. The process is designed to
meet the requirements of the regulations as well as fit in with the City's budget
development schedule.
The Community Development Authority is asked to review, revise if necessary, and
approve this schedule. Once approved, staff will provide information as needed to the
public about the process for the 2013 Community Development Block Grant and HOME
programs application.
