Looking to the Future: 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
The City of Bloomington is undertaking the development of two important community planning documents. Both documents are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order for the city to continue receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and HOME Investment Partnerships funding. These resources finance affordable housing and community development activities for low- and moderate-income residents in Bloomington.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice involves a review of the city’s housing and housing-related programs and policies to ensure these are administered in a non-discriminatory manner. That is, that the city manages its housing and housing-related programs without regard for a person’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, familial status or ancestry. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan analyzes housing and homeless needs to determine Bloomington’s priority needs for affordable housing and community development benefiting primarily low- and moderate-income residents.
We are seeking resident participation in public meetings scheduled for August 20-September 3, 2024 to gather community feedback.
Particularly if unable to attend, we encourage residents to take our online survey at surveymonkey.com/r/Bloomington2024.
The Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) department wants to hear your opinions and ideas on the priority needs for the next five years:
- affordable housing,
- fair housing,
- neighborhood preservation,
- services needed to improve economic self-sufficiency among lower income residents,
- public infrastructure and facilities improvements needed to maintain Bloomington’s neighborhoods and commercial areas,
- and much more.
Join us for the following Workshops or Public Meetings. All meetings will be available via Zoom.
