2021-2025 Consolidated Plan Community Needs Survey
Purpose of the Consolidated Plan
The City of Kettering receives funding annually from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. One of the requirements for receiving such allocations is the development of a five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development to provide policy direction for the next five years of funding decisions. In general, the Consolidated Plan is guided by three overarching goals that are applied according to the community's needs:
- To provide Decent Housing by preserving existing affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers to housing, increasing the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs, and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing.
- To provide a Suitable Living Environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods, greater integration of low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents throughout the cities, increasing housing opportunities and encouraging reinvestment in struggling neighborhoods.
- To expand Economic Opportunities through more jobs that pay self-sufficient wages, homeownership opportunities, development activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of LMI persons and households to achieve self-sufficiency.
This Consolidated Plan corresponds to the next five program years, which begin January 1, 2021, and ends December 31, 2025. Three primary federal funding resources are discussed.
