~The City of Fresno is seeking public input from residents on community development and housing needs to prepare its next five-year Consolidated Plan.
It has scheduled four public forums next week to help prioritize community needs.
The Consolidated Plan is a strategic document used by the City to allocate federal funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) programs.
The programs will reinvest $45 million over five years into assisting low-moderate income households and the revitalization of older, neglected neighborhoods in Fresno.
Four forums will be held:
NORTH FRESNO: Monday, March 9 from 5:30 – 7:30pm
Wesley United Methodist Church, Fireside Room, 1343 E. Barstow Ave.
CENTRAL FRESNO: Tuesday, March 10 from 5:30 – 7:30pm
Manchester Center Mall, 3302 N. Blackstone Ave, Suites 208 and 209
SOUTHEAST FRESNO: Wednesday, March 11 from 5:30 – 7:30pm
Boys and Girls Club of America, 1621 S. Cedar
SOUTHWEST FRESNO: Saturday, March 14 from 10:00am – 12:00pm
