Public Notice Public Meeting for Community Development Plan

PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC MEETING FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN & FAIR HOUSING STUDY The City of Atlanta is preparing a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and working jointly with Fulton County on a fair housing study known as an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. These plans are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and address local and regional needs related to housing, economic and community development, and homelessness. The Consolidated Plan will assess the current housing market, discuss characteristics of the city's and county's populations, identify community improvement priorities, and outline a five-year plan to fund and implement them using funds received from HUD under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA) programs. The Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) identifies barriers to equal access to housing and neighborhood opportunities and proposes strategies to overcome those barriers. The opinions and perceptions of local residents are an important part of these reports. To provide input, residents are invited to attend a public meeting or participate in a survey. The meeting details are below. Refreshments will be served and children are welcome. Atlanta Community Meeting Wednesday, October 9, 2019 6 PM - 7 PM Old Council Chambers 68 Mitchell Street SW, 2nd Floor Atlanta, GA 30303 The survey and additional information about the project are available online at www.atlantaconplan.com.
