Press release from the City of Asheville:
The City of Asheville is working on its Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs.
Every five years, the Community Development staff works with community stakeholders and experts in developing two reports for HUD. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities as well as inform the funding priorities for Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership grants for the next five years.
Because the final report will guide City staff for the next five years, it’s important to hear from the community. In additional to small stakeholder meetings, the City launched an online survey for residents to provide their input and will hold two community meetings. Here is a direct link to the survey: opentownhall.com/7997.
Community meeting schedule
5-7:30 p.m. Dec. 2, Stephens Lee Center, 30 George Washington Carver Ave.
5-7:30 p.m. Dec. 9, Stephens Lee Center, 30 George Washington Carver Ave.
