The Maine State Housing Authority and the Department of Economic and Community Development are drafting the Annual Action Plan for 2018 and encourage citizens to comment. 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the State of Maine to publish an Annual Action Plan outlining the use of HUD funds for the following programs administered in the state:

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG)

Housing Trust Fund (HTF)

These programs receive approximately $18 million in annual allocations. 

The plan describes the various housing and community development initiatives that the State intends to undertake, including funding levels and target populations.  The plan identifies 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.
