The Consolidated Plan is a three-year strategic implementation plan that identifies the housing and community development needs of the City of Inglewood and allocates resources to address the needs of very low- to moderate income-residents. It outlines an implementation strategy to address economic, physical, environmental, community and human development needs and permits the targeting of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds.

Consolidated Plan approval by the Mayor and City Council is based on addressing the following community development and housing needs:

• Affordable Housing;
• Adequate Infrastructure;
• Fair Housing;
• Protection of the environment;
• Enhancement of civic design;
• Economic and Human development; and
• Comprehensive assistance to the homeless.

The Consolidated Plan process encompasses the following components:

Citizen Participation

CDBG law requires that the City has and follows a formal citizen participation plan in order to receive funding. The City's Public Participation Plan provides for and encourages public involvement in identifying community needs and uses of funds in low-income areas. Public hearing, community meetings, workshops, and a community survey have been useful tools in the past in obtaining public opinion on how funds should be used. The Citizen Participation plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the CDBG Division.

Annual Action Plan

The Annual Action Plan is a one-year implementation strategy for each year of the Consolidated plan, which identifies how the City will meet community development and housing needs. The Action Plan is due to the Department of Housing and Urban Development prior to the start of the City's fiscal year. The plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the CDBG Division.


Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)

The Annual Performance Report is due to the Department of Housing and Urban Development within 90 days of the City's program year. It gives a detailed description of sources of funding, amount of funding, and the allocation of funding for projects and activities to meet the needs of low-income individuals.
The CAPER is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the CDBG Division.
