Understanding the Local and State Consolidated Planning Process
What happens at the local level to address Housing Needs
Community Housing Improvement Program Local Planning
• The local Housing Advisory Committee (HAC)
• Eligible Cities and Counties (non-CDBG Entitlement Communities or non-HOME Participating Jurisdictions)
• Two-year planning/funding cycle• Mandated Membership includes DD Organization,
Substance Abuse Counseling Agency• HAC Members present needs, resources available,
service & resource gaps
Sample HAC PrioritiesPrioritized Needs
• Need for financing of major repairs for owners
• Need for financing assistance for emergency or one-system repair needs.
• Potential buyers need downpayment and rehab
financing in order to purchase home and avoid big repair costs
• New homebuyers need education on the basic of ownership, financing, etc. in order to maximize the chances of success.
• LMI renters need on-going payment assistance to
keep from being housing cost burdened • Special needs renters need better
quality housing without a rent increase to cover rehab costs.
Recommended CHIP Activity
• Private Owner rehabilitation • Home Repairs
• Homeownership activity, goal of 1 buyer assisted.
• Homebuyer education program for buyers as well as a Public Service Homebuyer Ed to reach other future buyers.
• Tenant based rental assistance
• Rental Rehabilitation, with non profit housing & service provider the priority
Funded Activities that address Special Needs Housing
Rental Rehabilitation

Additional Community Consolidated Planning
Examples
City of Bowling GreenCDBG Entitlement Community
• Hold two public hearings each year. • Meetings held when public transit system operates
• Survey local service providers (including Wood Lane) to identify greatest needs. • Results compiled and utilized in the Annual Plan.• • The City has a Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP) which sets forth various
accommodations to assist the public to provide input. • The LEP also covers persons who have difficulty reading/comprehending written
materials
Bowling Green Outcomes of Interest
• Since 2005 the City of Bowling Green’s CDBG Housing Program has helped to fund 7 rental rehabilitation projects for Woodlane Residential Properties.
• Total assistance over that period was $78,354
• Current: Commit $30,000 on 2 additional properties with Woodlane.
• CDBG funds used to offer reduced fares for persons with disabilities on local public transit system .
• In FY 2010, 46 disabled persons (new riders) received reduced fares. Many of those persons had developmental disabilities.
City of LimaCDBG Entitlement Community
• Consult the local Housing Consortium for housing needs,
• Invite the local DD board to participate in consolidated plan hearings. • Housing funds are limited, make a good case for project priority.
• Lima has not directly provided funding to DD housing projects. But will partner with land donations, letters of support and advocacy if project fits with development plans / community need.
