Consolidated Plan Each year, the City of Irvine receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME), and the American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grant money is used to benefit lower-income residents of the City through the funding of non-profit service providers and programs and funding capital expenditure projects that benefit lower-income individuals. As a direct recipient of CDBG, HOME, and ADDI funds from HUD, the City is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan and annual updates to guide and report on the use of these federal grant funds. The Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs in housing, homelessness, community development and economic development. It also presents the City’s strategies to address these needs. Currently, the City is in its third year of its implementation of its 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan.

CDBG-R: On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed Title XII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) into law. ARRA appropriates $1 billion in supplemental funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Referred to as the CDBG Recovery program (CDBG-R), the goal of this program is to primarily invest in economic development, housing, infrastructure and other public facility construction that will quickly spur further economic investment, increase energy efficiency, and create or retain jobs. For more information on how the City will use these funds please see the attached CDBG-R Substantial Amendment and CDBG-R Spreadsheet for a list of projects to be funded through this program. | DOWNLOADS
