The purpose of the CDBG Program is to carry out activities benefiting the low and moderate income persons and eliminate blighted conditions in the City. The HOME Program was developed to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing to very low-income and low-income. Staff and the CDBG Advisory Committee is conducting numerous public meetings and after all the input is received, the Committee will proceed to develop the Plan and the final draft of the Consolidated Plan will be submitted for Council approval on May 3,1995.
