2008-12 Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to 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 four Community Planning and Development (CPD formula block grant programs: the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. Key components of the Consolidated Plan include:
- Consultation and Citizen Participation. Through the Consolidated Plan (often called the “Con Plan”), grantee jurisdictions engage the community, both in the process of developing and reviewing the proposed plan, and as partners and stakeholders in the implementation of CPD programs. By consulting and collaborating with other public and private entities, grantees can align and coordinate community development programs with a range of other plans, programs and resources to achieve greater impact.
- The Consolidated Plan. The 3- to 5-year Consolidated Plan describes the jurisdiction’s community development priorities and multiyear goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of housing and economic market conditions and available resources.
- The 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 by the Consolidated Plan.
- Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). In the CAPER, grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the prior year.

The ESG program provides homeless persons with basic shelter and essential supportive services. ESG funds can be used for a variety of activities, including rehabilitation or remodeling of a building used as a new shelter; operations and maintenance of a facility; essential supportive services; and homeless prevention and rapid rehousing.
The Homlessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) was a one-time, short-term program funded by the 2009 Federal stimulus bill. HPRP focused on rapidly tranistioning households out of homelessness and preventing at-risk house households from entering homelessness. In slightly more than two years of operation, the program exceeded expectations; the original goal was to house or assit 1,800 familes. The goal was met only 15 months into the program. At the completion of the program in May 2012, a total of 2,400 households were assisted.
