CITY OF DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Consolidated and Annual Action Plan Notice
Program Years 2010-14

The City of Des Plaines invites citizens to comment on its draft 5-Year Consolidated and Annual Action Plan for program years 2010 through 2014 (October 1, 2010 - September 30, 2015). Each year, the City is eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The consolidated plan provides a snapshot of the community’s current conditions and establishes long-term objectives, strategies, and goals to alleviate the issues identified; and must be submitted every five (5) years. The action plan allows the City to make annual adjustments to meet the goals of the consolidated plan or mitigate potential issues. The action plan also serves as the City’s budget and formal application to the CDBG program.
