Consolidated and Action Plans

Overview

The State of Indiana is eligible to receive grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help address housing and community development needs. As a condition for receiving HUD block grant funding, the State must complete a five-year strategic plan called a Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development (Consolidated Plan). The Consolidated Plan identifies the State’s housing and community development needs and specifies how block grant funds will be used to address the needs.

These grant funds include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) administered by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) and the National Housing Trust Fund (HTF) administered by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA). Grant funds are primarily meant for investment in the State's less populated and rural areas (“non-entitlement” areas), which do not receive such funds directly from HUD.
