Background
The King County Consortia King County receives approximately $11 million in federal funds (CDBG, HOME and Emergency Shelter Grant funds) from HUD each year, on behalf of King County and 33 cities and towns in King County outside of Seattle that make up the Consortia. These funds may be used for a wide range of activities that primarily benefit low to moderate-income households, pursuant to the goals and objectives established in a Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan. King County and the Consortia also use the Consolidated Plan to guide the allocation of other state and local funds that meet the same objectives. King County has prepared this 2010-2012 Consolidated Plan update on behalf of, and with the assistance of, the King County Consortia jurisdictions. The current Consolidated Plan is updated in the following areas: 1. Updating the Needs Assessment (Appendix A) to reflect current conditions wherever new data has been available. Certain measures that are only available after the decennial Census have not been changed, but will be updated following the 2010 Census. 2. Updating the Strategic Plan: - Updating the performance measures to reflect realistic current outputs or targets, based on current funding levels
- Adding new strategies relating to receipt of federal recovery funds, such as the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP-1) and the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program
- Updating the table of available resources for the period of the new plan
- Reducing the scope of one strategy due to funding constraints.
3. Updating the appendix containing the Assisted Housing Inventory to reflect the number of assisted units in King County outside of Seattle as of 2008. 4. Updating the introduction to the Consolidated Plan and the Key Findings to reflect current realities, funding levels, and the major findings of the updated Needs Assessment. 5. Updating the stakeholder input based on participants' oral and written comments at three sub-area based meetings held in June 2009. To request a hard copy you may call 206-263-9105. |
