RE:

Adoption of the 2009 Action Plan and Investment Summary

 

 

The City Commission will consider adoption of the 2009 Action Plan and Investment Summary at its regular meeting Tuesday, May 5, 2009.  The Consolidated Plan is required by the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and is the result of a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development using federal, state, and local funds. 

 

The 2009 Action Plan includes the one year Investment Summary (attached and page 19 in the Action Plan) for the upcoming 2009 program year (August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010).  The Action Plan is available on the department website at www.lawrenceks.org/pds and has been available to the public since April 15, 2009.  Staff will be available to answer questions and the Chair of the Neighborhood Resources Advisory Committee, Patty Welty, will also be present at the meeting. 

 

To date, no written comments have been received by the department. 

 

Should you have further questions, please let me know.  The Investment Summary follows.
