Addresses housing and community development

The City of Miami Consolidated Plan 2019-2023 and Action Plan FY 19-20 (October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020), which the City will submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) this summer, will identify strategies to address the housing and community development needs of primarily low- and moderate-income persons utilizing the federal funds the City receives annually from HUD. HUD funding sources include the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding.
