In the month of September, the City of Moorhead will be preparing its 2017 Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development. This plan is used to allocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, assistance provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to promote affordable housing and economic opportunities for low to moderate income persons. The year 2017 will be year 3 of a 5-year Consolidated Plan (2015 – 2019) that sets strategies and goals for CDBG resources. The 5-year plan may be viewed at www.cityofmoorhead.com/housing. The City has scheduled this meeting to discuss community development needs prior to publishing its 2017 Action Plan.
The facility is accessible for persons with mobility impairments. In advance of the meeting, alternative formats of this information or accommodation for persons with disabilities will be made upon request (10 hours notice is required).

You are welcome to attend the meeting. If you would prefer, please share your comments, ideas, or concerns regarding housing and community development at www.cityofmoorhead.com/cdbgcomments.
Additional opportunities for input: It is anticipated that a draft 2017 Action Plan will be posted online in early October for a 30-day comment period, with a public hearing before the Moorhead City Council during that time period. The Mayor and Council will give final consideration to the Action Plan after the comment period and it will be submitted to HUD November 16.
