The City of Phoenix City Council approved an amendment to its Consolidated Plan's Citizen Participation Plan. This plan, required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), outlines policies and procedures for citizen involvement in the development and administration of the Consolidated Plan, which guides the use of federal entitlement funds for programs such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Solutions Grants. The amendment updates the existing plan, adopted in 1996 and previously amended, by removing outdated processes, clarifying City Council actions related to plan amendments, and detailing Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report public hearing requirements. Public outreach included a 30-day comment period from May 12 to June 11, 2025, and a public hearing on May 21, 2025.
