NOTICE OF FILING

OF

2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development

    Notice is hereby given that the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs (OCRA), and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) plans to file their 2020 -2024 Five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development (“2020 Consolidated Plan”) with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) on May 15, 2020, contingent on federal funding allocation decisions. In the event that federal funding is delayed, the plan may be submitted to HUD after this date. The Draft 2020 Annual Action Plan, a subset of the full Consolidated Plan, contains a funding contingency plan.

    This document concerns programs that are funded through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development under Title I of the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974 as amended. Annually, the state receives about $35 million for housing and community development funds. The Consolidated Plan provides guidance for allocation of those funds among housing and community development activities (e.g., economic development initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and homeownership and rental programs).

    The 2020 Action Plan includes a one year spending plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program, and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA) Program.

    The Office of Community & Rural Affairs will have the 2020 Consolidated Plan available for public inspection prior to its submission. Members of the public are invited to review the 2020 Consolidated Plan during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., February 18, 2020 through April 10, 2020, at the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs, One North Capitol, Suite 600, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. The 2020 Consolidated Plan will also be available online at: http://www.in.gov/ocra/2369.htm

    Information regarding the 2020 Consolidated Plan Plan can be obtained by writing to: Office of Community and Rural Affairs, c/o 2020 Consolidated Plan, One North Capitol, Suite 600, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2027. Additional information may also be obtained via e-mail at eogle1@ocra.IN.gov or on http://www.in.gov/ocra/2369.htm
