Recommend approval of a resolution adopting the City of Savannah 2018-2022 Housing and Community Development Plan, which includes a 2018 One Year Action Plan, and authorizing the City Manager to submit the plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and to enter into grant agreements with sub-recipients.

The 2018-2022 Housing and Community Development Plan serves as the blueprint for how the City of Savannah will use federal entitlement funds and other resources to address the needs of low- and moderate-income persons and to improve housing, economic and other conditions within predominantly low-income neighborhoods. Entitlement funds include: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds.

The 2018 One Year Action Plan is based on HUD program requirements, public input, City Council priorities, and stated objectives as identified in the City’s 2018-2022 Housing and Community Development Plan.
