2022-2026 HOME Consortium Consolidated Plan
The Brevard County HOME Consortium Consolidated Plan identifies and prioritizes the housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income people. It also identifies five-year strategies and goals for the use of federal HOME Investment Partnership Program funds received annually by the Brevard County HOME Consortium. This Consolidated Plan period begins October 2022 and ends September 2027. The needs, goals, projects, and activities described in the Consolidated Plan have been identified through data analysis described in the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis sections, and an extensive community outreach process.
Community Development Plans and Reports
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 established a Consolidated Planning effort that requires a community-wide inventory, needs analysis, and prioritization of low-income housing and community development issues related to federal entitlement funding. This information is incorporated into a 5-year plan, and updated annually with an investment strategy called the Annual Action Plan. Progress made toward meeting overall goals and specified outcomes is documented in the end of year report called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
