2023-2028 CONSOLIDATED PLAN SUMMARY
Every three to five years, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that Public Jurisdictions, receiving certain Federal funds, prepare a consolidated plan pursuant to 24 C.F.R. 91 which is to promote the framework for a planning process to identify housing, homeless, community and economic development needs.
The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive analysis of housing and community development needs, including strategies to address those needs, and an action plan to implement programs that meet those needs. This single document consolidates the planning application, and reporting requirements of several programs overseen by HUD.
For the City of Pomona, these programs include: the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME I nvestment Partnership Act (HOME) Program and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program.
The primary objective of the CDBG Program is the development of viable communities, decent housing and expanding economic opportunities for persons of low -to-moderate income. The primary objective of the HOME Program is the creation and/or preservation of decent, safe and affordable housing. The primary objective of the ESG Program is shelter and services for the homeless.
2023-2024 PROPOSED ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN
The proposed 2023 -2024 Action P lan is based on the citizen input, consultation with community based agencies and City Council recommendations. To ensure citizen and stakeholder participation in the development of the Action Plan, outreach efforts included mailing informational postcards to over 43,500 households, informing them of community meeting dates and requesting their input via a Community Needs Survey. Community meetings were held virtually via ZOOM and in-person. Surveys were made available online at the City’s website and at the City Hall Housing counter and many other high-foot traffic areas in the in the city. The Community Needs Survey was available on-line in English and Spanish beginning October 26, 2022. The final date for submission of the 2023-2024 survey was January 31, 2023. A total 429 surveys were received.
The Action Plan outlines the Federal resources available during fiscal year 2023-2024 and identifies priority needs, activities the City will undertake to meet those needs, and h ow activities to be undertaken meet Consolidated Plan goals, objectives and strategies.
