The public is invited to weigh in on a proposed update for housing and community development plans on July 2. The public hearing will be at 1 p.m. in the Council Chamber at 222 W. Hargett Street.
The City of Raleigh is proposing updates for housing and community development plans. The proposals request up to $14.2 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for additional funding for:
- Special economic development: $3 million;
- Acquisition of property: $3 million;
- Housing rehabilitation: $7 million; and,
- Public facilities and improvements: $1.2 million.
This funding comes from the Loan Guarantee Program in the 24-25 Annual Action Plan with Housing and Urban Development. While the Raleigh City Council already approved the action plan and the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, additional public input and a council vote are required for further action. We invite your input.
