Estimated funding amounts for FY 2022 are as follows:

- CDBG = $2,405,169
- HOME = $1,259,648
- ESG = $212,549
Once official HUD 2022 allocations are announced, if the County needs to make adjustments to their budget in order to match the official allocation, they will do so proportionately across the entire budget.
The purpose of the County’s Annual Action Plan is to improve the housing and living conditions of its residents, especially the extremely low, low- and moderate-income households; the homeless, and persons with special needs; upgrade and improve the public and community facilities in the County; improve and expand the public services for residents of the County; and promote economic development opportunities for all residents.
Prior to the submission of the Annual Action Plan, the County is holding two virtual Public Hearings on May 5, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
