COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, entitles Genesee County, as an urban county, to plan and carry out a Community Development Program throughout Genesee County, outside the City of Flint. The primary objectives of the Genesee County Community Development Program are to:

1. Develop and maintain viable urban communities;
2. Provide decent and affordable housing; and
3. Provide a suitable living environment for the residents of Genesee County, principally for persons of low and moderate income.

Pursuant to these objectives, Genesee County, in cooperation with participating local units of government, proposes to utilize *$1,828,984 in CDBG Entitlement funds for the 2019 Program Year.

HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME)
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program encourages states and local Participating Jurisdictions (PJ), in collaboration with private organizations, to undertake activities and adopt policies aimed at expanding the supply of affordable housing and increasing the number of families who can be served with affordable housing. Pursuant to these objectives, Genesee County proposes to utilize *$868,520 in HOME funds.

EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT (ESG)
The ESG Program funding assists people in regaining stability in permanent housing after experiencing homelessness, or for homeless prevention activities. Genesee County proposes to utilize *$152,398 in ESG funding.

Pursuant to provisions of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended; the McKinney Act of 1987, and the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) of 1990, the Genesee County Board of Commissioners is publishing its 2019 Action Plan prior to Genesee County’s 2019 Community Development Block Grant entitlement Program Year. A Public Hearing will be held on May 8, 2019 at 9:45 a.m. in the Harris Auditorium, Genesee County Administration Building, 1101 Beach Street, Flint, Michigan at the Community and Economic Development Committee Meeting.

The public is advised that on or about May 23, 2019, Genesee County will submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development an Action Plan. Prior to said submission, public comments are welcomed on the Action Plan and on the past performance of Genesee County in carrying out Community Development Block Grant activities, HOME Program activities, and Emergency Solutions Grant activities.
