Port Huron opens public hearing on CDBG and HOME funding; city schedules two community forums
Summary
City staff explained that the hearing seeks community input for the annual action plan and the five-year consolidated plan for HUD-entitlement CDBG and HOME funds. Two public forums were announced, Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 in room 408 (one morning session at 9:30 and an evening session).
City staff explained the purpose of a public hearing to gather community suggestions on how Port Huron should allocate HUD entitlement funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs.
A staff presenter (identified as Jasmine in the record) said the hearing solicits community priorities for the city’s annual action plan — which covers the coming 12 months — and input to update the consolidated plan, the five-year funding strategy. The presenter said another public hearing on the draft plan will come before council in April for formal review and approval.
Staff announced two public forums to gather further input: Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 in room 408, with a daytime session at 9:30 a.m. and an evening session for people who cannot attend daytime meetings. Staff said more information would be posted on the city calendar and the city Facebook page.
The mayor and council invited public comment but closed the formal public-hearing portion after the overview and permitted an explanation for residents who asked what the acronyms mean.
