Subject: 
Public Hearing on 2023 Annual Action Plan for Community Development 
Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) 
Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024. 
 
Background: Each year, the City of Chandler receives federal CDBG funds from the United 
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and HOME funds, 
administered by HUD, through the Maricopa HOME Consortium. An Annual Action Plan 
(AAP), an element of the Consolidated Plan, is required by HUD in order for the City of 
Chandler to receive these federal funds. The AAP will identify priorities for use of the 
following estimated annual resources: 
• 
CDBG:  
Approximately $1,402,691 
• 
HOME:  
Approximately $453,008 
 
In compliance with HUD regulations and the Citizen Participation Plan, the City is holding a 
public hearing to solicit citizen’s feedback to identify housing and community development 
needs in the community, and to make suggestions for how to allocate these federal funds 
for the development of the 2023 AAP. Additionally, a survey is currently available on the 
City’s website for residents to provide input on identifying and prioritizing housing and 
community development needs and the best methods and programs to address those 
needs. For additional information regarding the 2023 AAP and survey link, please go to:

development/plans-and-reports. 
 
Discussion: Initial funding recommendations for CDBG and HOME funds will be included in 
the draft 2023 AAP and made available for review during a 30-day public comment period 
beginning on March 17, 2023, and presented to the HHSC at the April 12, 2023 meeting. 
Public comments received will be included in the finalized report submitted to HUD.
