Public Hearing - Consolidated Plan & Fair Housing Analysis
STATE OF
FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN and FAIR HOUSING ANALYSISPROGRAM YEARS 2025-2029
The Maine State Housing Authority (MaineHousing) and the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) are drafting the State of Maine Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan and a Fair Housing Plan for the program years 2025-2029. Citizens are encouraged to comment.
The Consolidated Plan outlines the strategies that MaineHousing and DECD will develop to address low and moderate income housing and community development needs throughout the non-urbanized areas of Maine. The Plan describes the various housing and community development initiatives that the State intends to undertake, including funding levels and target populations. The Plan has historically identified the following areas as top priorities: improve housing quality, expand the supply of affordable housing, help Maine people attain housing stability, improve economic opportunity and improve public infrastructure.
The Plan will identify the annual goals, priorities and objectives for using the following sources of funding:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
- Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG)
- HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
- Housing Trust Fund (HTF)
These programs receive approximately $21 million in annual allocations.
The Fair Housing Analysis will identify existing housing conditions, laws and impediments to fair housing. The Analysis will outline actions and set goals to improve fair housing.
