SUNNYVALE SCHEDULES OUTREACH MEETINGS

SEEKS COMMENT ON FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – The City of Sunnyvale is seeking public comment on its proposed five-year federal Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan contains the City’s housing and community development strategy for using federal funds over the next five years, 2005 – 2010. The City receives more than $2 million annually from two federal programs, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME).

Programs funded by these federal grants are required to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons and persons with special needs through affordable housing, economic development and job creation, public facilities and infrastructure improvements and community and supportive services, among other activities.

The City has scheduled four community meetings in November to discuss housing and community development needs, programs and services in Sunnyvale. The meetings are scheduled as follows:
