These <br />federal funds provide for the development of affordable housing, street improvements, <br />park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, <br />public services, the expansion and retention of businesses, and the delivery of services <br />for individuals experiencing homelessness. In general, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan <br />describes how the City will invest and allocate these limited federal funds for and on behalf <br />of the community. In May of 2020, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July <br />1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 was submitted to HUD. <br />As part of this five-year strategic planning process, the City is required to submit an <br />Annual Action Plan each year that describes how the City will achieve the goals stated in <br />the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan <br />that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed <br />Annual Action Plan covers Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 and seeks to allocate funding <br />where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit1).The <br />Annual Action Plan describes the intended use of the City’s federal entitlement grants <br />specifically for FY 2022-2023. For FY 2022-2023, the City anticipates to receive <br />$5,640,635 in CDBG program funds, $1,706,231 in HOME program funds, and $489,141 <br />in ESG program funds from HUD:
