The draft proposal – called the Annual Action Plan -- outlines how the City proposes investing almost $1.5 million in its neighborhoods, plus almost $600,000 on affordable housing in Covington and four surrounding cities. The money represents the expected annual allocation from the CDBG and HOME federal grant programs. It’s unrelated to COVID-19 recovery funds. 

 

The draft of the plan can be seen HERE … and an earlier release about the hearing can be read HERE.

 

The three basic goals for the programs are to provide decent housing, to provide a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities.
