Subject: Survey released for Consolidated Plan process

The City of Paul is considered an entitlement community by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grantee’s annual funding allocation formula which uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.

The City anticipates receiving $6,384,098 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, $1,427,984 of HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funding, and $579,908 of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding from HUD in 2015. In addition, the City estimates using about $365,902 in CDBG program income.

To that end, a survey has been created to assist in ranking community-identified priorities gathered during the scoping period for the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan for the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota, to be submitted to HUD. The five-year plan portion of the document covers the period of 2015 through 2019, and the one-year Action Plan is for the 2015 program year. The Action Plan includes the City’s application for 2015 CDBG funding, which the City uses to invest in housing, public improvements, economic development, public services, and job creation activities. Saint Paul also receives HOME funds to assist in the provision of long-term, safe and affordable housing, as well as ESG funding, which provides housing opportunities for homeless persons.

Your feedback on this survey, in addition to three community public hearing events on March 19th, will form the basis for rankings in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan document.
