2008-2012 Consolidated Plans Outreach Process 

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, on behalf of the City and County 
of Sacramento, is in the process of updating the existing five-year Consolidated Plans. 
Currently, Sacramento City and County receive approximately $20 million in combined 
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program 
(HOME), American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADD), Emergency Shelter Grant 
(ESG) and Housing for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) funds. These five-year planning 
documents provide the overall parameters for the expenditure of these funds. 

In order to receive valuable citizen input regarding critical areas of need, SHRA staff 
launched a comprehensive outreach process for the Plans. In addition, the Plans will tie 
to existing City and County visions and priorities. The outreach plan gathered input 
through the following avenues:
