CDBG Program Year 47 Annual Action Plan Now Available

by Jackie Piques

The City of Medford’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 47 (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022) Draft Annual Action Plan is now available. The Office of Planning, Development & Sustainability invites public review and comment prior to the submission of the Annual Action Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In order to receive CDBG funds, the Annual Action Plan must be consistent with the primary objective of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, which is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income.

The draft Annual Action Plan was created based upon the goals and objectives outlined in the City’s 5-Year Consolidated Plan. The City expects to receive approximately $1,569,784.00 in new grant funds from HUD for CDBG Program Year 47. Based on the requests for funds, monies will be allocated for Affordable Housing; Economic Development; Parks, Public Facilities, & Infrastructure; Public Services; and Planning and Administration.

The Draft 1-Year Annual Action Plan will be available for review from Thursday, July 8, 2021 through Tuesday, July 13, 2021.  Copies of the plan can be obtained in Medford City Hall, Room 308, 85 George P. Hassett Dr.; or by contacting the office at 781-393-2480 or ocd@medford-ma.gov; and on the City’s website: www.medfordma.org/departments/planning-development-sustainability/consolidated-and-action-plans/  All interested parties are encouraged to review and comment on the Draft Annual Action Plan. Comments must be sent in writing on or before July 13, 2021, to the Office of Planning, Development & Sustainability, 85 George P. Hassett Dr. Room 308, Medford, MA 02155, or to awilliams@medford-ma.gov.
