What is a Consolidated Plan?
PURPOSE: A Consolidated Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive entitlement grant funds. HUD awards grants to entitlement communities (larger cities and urban counties) to carry out activities that revitalize neighborhoods, increase economic development, furnish decent housing and a suitable living environment, reduce homelessness and provide improved community facilities and services.
Louisville Metro must prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan (2011-2015) that details our community’s needs, priorities and action steps in four program areas: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG). The Consolidated Plan includes five Action Plans. These annual plans become the basis on which HUD evaluates our performance. Each year, Louisville Metro prepares its CAPER [Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report], which illustrates progress, based on that year’s Action Plan.
FUNDING: For 2009, Louisville Metro received funding at the following levels:
- $11,894,234 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
- $ 4,028,623 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
- $ 522,171 Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) and
- $ 502,511 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
- $16,947,539 TOTAL
Consolidated Planning represents substantial investments in Louisville Metro (85 plus million dollars over 5 years).
