Every year, Sonoma County receives funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for activities such as the creation of affordable housing and providing needed public services that benefit low-income households in our community. A draft of the Sonoma County 2021-2022 One Year Action Plan for use of these funds has been prepared and is available for review and comment. All of the projects included in the FY 2021-2022 Draft Action Plan for federal community development funding address one or more of the specific objectives outlined in the 2020 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and are activities that will benefit predominantly low- and moderate-income persons, or assist in the elimination of slums and blight.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), requires jurisdictions receiving federal funds from Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, and Federal Emergency Solutions Grant programs to develop and submit a Consolidated Plan. The 5-year plan identifies the needs of lower-income persons in the locality and the proposed actions to be taken to serve those needs. For each year during the Consolidated Plan period, the Commission submits an Action Plan outlining the proposed projects to serve lower-income persons in Sonoma County, and a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to highlight yearly accomplishments toward Action Plan goals.
