This is a resolution adopting the City of Savannah's 2023-2027 HCD Plan and the 2023 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 subrecipients.

The 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. Entitlement funds include: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds. The HCD Plan and the 2023 One Year Action Plan is based on HUD program requirements, public input, City Council priorities, and stated objectives that will be pursued between 2023 and 2027 as identified in the City’s Housing and Community Development Plan.
