Community Meeting: Consolidated Plan

The City of Irvine receives an annual allocation of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive assessment of the City’s housing and community development needs for the short and long term, including housing, homelessness, economic development, and public services (e.g. health and human service programs). The Consolidated Plan also includes strategies for addressing the identified needs, which are intended to guide the City’s use of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds over a five-year period.

The City will be conducting two community meetings to gather feedback from residents and local stakeholders on how federal funds may be used to address the community’s high priority needs.

1. The first meeting is scheduled for October 23, 2024, at 6:00 pm. It will be held virtually. The link to join the meeting is as follows: https://bit.ly/4eddjH4
2. The second meeting will take place on October 24, 2024, at 10:00 am. at the Las Lomas Community Center, 1 Federation Way, Irvine, California, 92603.

In addition, the City is distributing a survey to gather input on the community’s short- and long-term needs. The survey is available online at https://bit.ly/3AQ80ip. The survey will remain open until November 11, 2024. City staff will provide a public hearing presentation to City Council on October 8, outlining the information here. The input received during this public hearing, the two community meetings, and the surveys will be used to refine the draft plans before they are finalized and made available for public review.
