Consolidated Plan FY 2021-2025
The Portland Consortium consisting of the City of Gresham, City of Portland and Multnomah County is required, every five years, to produce a plan called the Consolidated Plan. The Plan also includes the fiscal year 2021-22 Annual Action Plans for members of the Consortium. The Action Plan provides details on how the recipients of the federal funds intend to allocate the funding that is received annually.
The Con Plan also serves as the federal application for four federal programs run by the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA. The current plan covering FY 2021-25 provides an assessment of community needs, a market analysis and based on that includes draft program goals, priorities and strategies to address the community needs.
Draft plan available for community feedback
We request the community at large to review the Con Plan draft and provide us feedback. For ease of review, we have split the document into four relevant sections:
Submit your comments by email or through a public hearing
The Consortium will hold public hearings to receive testimony from residents on housing and community development needs in Portland, Gresham and the balance of Multnomah County. Resident’s comments received at the hearings and/or on the draft will be considered as the Consortium’s Five-Year 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan and One-Year 2021-2022 Action Plan are finalized.
Comments on any of the plans may be made in writing by e-mail to the corresponding community contact. Please reach out if you would like additional information on the Consolidated Plan process or have questions about the community hearings (upcoming dates and times to be announced).
There are multiple ways to provide input. Also see:
