COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Consolidated Plan:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), requires jurisdictions receiving federal funds from Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, and Federal Emergency Shelter Grant programs to develop and submit a Consolidated Plan.  The plan identifies the needs of lower-income persons in the locality and the actions to be taken to serve those needs.

The County of Sonoma, six cities and one town, participate in various Consolidated Plan programs. These entities receive annual funding for programs and, in turn, allocate funding for specific projects within their jurisdictions.

Participating Agencies and Communities

Consolidated Plan funds are used for projects that improve the quality of living for lower-income residents. Lower-income residents are those whose incomes are less than 80 percent of the area median income as established by HUD.
