Public hearing on draft Annual Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
 
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that in compliance with federal regulations contained in Final Rule, 24 CFR Parts 91, 92, 5780, 574, 576, and 968, published January 5, 1995, the City of Redding has prepared a draft Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2026–27 and a draft Citizen Participation Plan. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires these documents in order for the City to receive federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and other federal programs.
 
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year planning document which identifies the activities on which specified federal funds will be spent and sets goals for the number and type of households to be assisted. The Citizen Participation Plan outlines the City’s policies and procedures for public involvement in the planning, implementation, and assessment of federally funded programs.
 
Both draft documents are available for public review online at:
