HUD-Required Plans and Reports

We provide technical support to cities and counties that receive Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) assistance from HUD. We assist cities and counties with the preparation of HUD-required documents, such as the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.
