FY2024 Annual Action Plan

FY2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 

City of New Bedford  |  Office of Housing & Community Development

The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan that explains and discusses available federal block grant funding (Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant and HOME Program funding) that the city receives as an entitlement community. The FY24 Annual Action Plan addresses how the funding will be used to fulfill Consolidated Plan priorities. (The city’s current Consolidated Plan is a five-year document that identifies community needs and spending priorities for FY2020-FY2024.) The FY24 Annual Action Plan represents the fifth year of the five-year Consolidated Plan.

Draft Plan Now Available. The DRAFT FY2024 Annual Action Plan is available for review and public comment for a 30-day period beginning Wednesday, April 17, 2024 through Friday, May 17, 2024.  It is anticipated that the plan will then be submitted to the City Council for a vote authorizing it.  You may access draft plan, here during the public review period:

Public Meetings. As part of its Annual Action Plan process, the City’s Office of Housing & Community Development (OHCD) conducted two public meetings (January 9th and January 10th 2024) where those attending learned about the federal funding that the city receives as an entitlement community and hear ideas from the community about how these funds could be used to serve the needs of New Bedford residents, particularly those of low and moderate incomes, over the coming fiscal year.

The City of New Bedford also hosted CDBG and ESG Application Workshops to explain and discuss the FY24 Applications and process for applying for these funds on Friday, January 12th. Proposal deadline was Friday, February 9, 2024 at 12noon.
