City of Los Angeles, California | Notice of Community Meetings for the HUD Consolidated Plan (2008–2012)and 34th Year Action Plan (2008–2009)

Residents are invited to attend one of six community meetings throughout the City of Los Angeles to review the Mayor’s proposed budget for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the current year, the draft Five-Year Consolidated Plan and 34th Program Year Action Plan. The City will receive approximately $150 million this year from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for new housing construction and rehabilitation of existing housing, public services, programs for the homeless, those living with HIV/AIDS, community facilities, and economic development.

Activities funded through the CDBG program must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income people, eliminate blight, or generate jobs. Residents have an opportunity to provide comments and suggestions prior to the adoption of the Plans by the Mayor and Council. All comments are forwarded to the City Council, the Mayor, and included in the final Action Plan submitted to HUD.

Meetings are scheduled at the locations listed below. All sites are accessible to people with disabilities, and a Spanish translator will be available if requested at least 72 hours in advance.
