In the month of September, the City of Moorhead will be preparing its 2016 Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development. This plan is used to allocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, assistance provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to promote affordable housing and economic opportunities for low to moderate income persons. The year 2016 will be year 2 of a 5-year Consolidated Plan (2015 – 2019) that sets strategies and goals for CDBG resources. Before publishing its 2016 Action Plan, the City will have a meeting to discuss community development needs:
Monday, August 31, 2015 at 5 pm at Moorhead City Hall, First Floor Council Chambers, 500 Center Avenue
The facility is accessible for persons with mobility impairments. In advance of the meeting, alternative formats of this information or accommodation for persons with disabilities will be made upon request. To make arrangements for services call 218.299.5375; for TDD/Relay service dial 711.
You are welcome to attend the meeting. You may also share your comments, ideas, or concerns regarding housing and community development here.
Additional opportunities for input: It is anticipated that a draft 2016 Action Plan will be posted online in early October for a 30-day comment period, with a public hearing before the Moorhead City Council on October 26, 2015. The Mayor and Council will give final consideration to the Action Plan on November 9, 2015. The 2016 Action Plan will be submitted to HUD November 16, 2015.
