Commission Action: Call Issued for Key Projects & Proven Programs in Support of 2020-24 Consolidated Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD)
Staff Summary
• The proposed Lake County 2020-24 Consolidated Plan (“ConPlan”) for the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) is focused on achieving the following goals: (1) Improve homeless crisis response system; (2) Assist Persons with Special Needs; (3) Maximize Affordable Housing; and (4) Prioritize Pathways for Economic Mobility.
• These four ConPlan goals face many natural barriers such as historical lack of funding, community resistance and stigma, with 444 square miles of recreational, industrial, and residential land settled in both suburban and urban patterns. To achieve these goals, Lake County is looking for local government and social service agency partners with whom to partner on major strategic projects and proven programs in support of these goals for the next five years.
• Last November 2019, the HCDC released a new Call for Five-Year Projects & Proven Housing Programs. The attached application instructions were released containing detailed selection criteria and funding process to be implemented in the development of the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan.
