The City of Burlington is soliciting input in connection with the development of its 2021 One-Year Action Plan and amended 2020 Action Plan for Housing & Community Development. The City anticipates receiving $759,765 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $414,413 in HOME funds to support housing, community and economic development activities for the 2021 program year (7/1/2021-6/30/2022).
The summary below includes the highlights from both 2020 and 2021 as several CDBG funding applications submitted to the Advisory Board in January 2021 were funded by 2020 allocations. This allowed the City of Burlington to increase the number of awards issued. As such, the City is soliciting public comment on both the 2021 Action plan and the amended 2020 Action Plan prior to City Council and HUD approval.
The public is encouraged to review the Plans and funding recommendations that can be found below, attend the Public Hearing on April 26th at 7 PM before the Burlington City Council, and comment. Written comments will also be accepted on the Plans through May 9, 2021 via email at ccurtis@burlingtonvt.gov.
For more information, or information on alternative access, contact Christine Curtis, Community & Economic Development Office, at (802) 735-7002.
