Comment period for the 2023 draft Annual Action Plan ends Jan. 11, public hearing on Jan. 4.
The City of Colorado Spring's Community Development Division is inviting the public to review the 2023 draft Annual Action Plan, which lays out the use for 2022 federal block grant funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The City expects to receive about $6.4 million in annual grants, which are allocated to support affordable housing, homelessness prevention, economic development, non-profit assistance and neighborhood improvements for low-income populations. Funds include the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Emergency Solutions Grant.
The City's Community Development Division manages allocation of these funds and invites the public to share their views on affordable housing and community development to help ensure the Annual Action Plan is responsive to the needs of our community. The City encourages all residents, especially neighborhood leaders, service providers and community advocates, to review the draft, provide input and attend the public meetings.
The Community Development Division will conduct a virtual public hearing on Jan. 4 at 6 p.m.to present the draft 2023 Annual Action Plan and to take comment and feedback from the public. This is the third public meeting on the 2023 draft. In October, public input meetings were held to gather initial input about the City's priorities and funding available to incorporate into the draft plan.
