A public comment period will be held Monday, June 5 through Tuesday, June 20 for the City of Mesa's proposed Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Annual Action Plan regarding funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The plan contains the City's short-term goals and strategies, including specific activities recommended for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. The funds are used for housing and community development activities that benefit low and moderate-income residents and assist in the prevention or elimination of slum and blighting influences. If prior year funding is approved by HUD, the City anticipates the following allocations for FY 17/18: o CDBG $3,224,529 o HOME $1,002,129 o ESG $ 287,998 Total: $4,514,656 Allocations are based on prior year funding; however, HUD may be reducing 17/18 funding. The actual allocated amounts will not be known until the City has received an award letter from HUD, which is anticipated within the next month.
