The 2023-2027 HCD Plan and the 2023 One Year Action 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. The Plan was developed based on public input, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program requirements, and City Council priorities, and proposes use of entitlement funds including: Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and HOME Investment Partnership funds.
