South San Francisco – Proposed Amendment to the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan The City of South San Francisco’s 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan details the funding strategy for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the period between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2028.
The City’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) describes the efforts that the City will take to encourage its residents to participate in developing these plans. It also provides requirements for public process when a “substantial amendment” to the Action Plan is proposed.
As part of the original Consolidated Plan, the City determined the need for economic development projects to support job creation and retention as well as support by the public for such projects. However, the City did not include an economic development goal in the original consolidated plan. In the past year, the City has facilitated a possible partnership with community based organization with the capacity to address an economic development goal. Therefore the City is adding an economic development goal to support microenterprise and small business development.
The following changes shall be made to the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan and are highlighted in red. 1: Annual Goals
