DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County receives the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME, Investment Partnership (HOME), and Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) annually. Marion County formed a Consortium with the City of Ocala to receive HOME funds, and Marion County is the lead agency. The City receives CDBG funds independently as an Entitlement City.
Every five years, the County must submit a five-year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan thereafter to HUD that outlines how CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding will serve Marion County’s low-to moderate-income population. The county’s Five-Year Consolidation Plan covers fiscal years 2024 through 2028 and associated Annual Action Plan(s) 2024-2025, 2025-2026, 2026-2027, 2027-2028, and 2028-2029.
This Public Hearing is to consider comments on developing the 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan.
The funding amounts below include the anticipated five years of allocations.
• CDBG $ 10,865,315
