“The City of New Bedford’s Office of Housing and Community Development is hosting two (2) identical public meetings in January to discuss its FY23 Annual Action Plan and its HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) provides $5 billion to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability across the country. These grant funds will be administered through HUD’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME).
A City Action Plan addresses a wide range of short and long-term measures, with the aim of preventing plastic from entering the environment, waterways and ultimately, the ocean.
We hope you will take the time to join us for one of these two sessions; we want to hear what you think are the greatest housing and community development needs and priorities within the City of New Bedford and to solicit resident and stakeholder input to help shape the design of the City’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan!
