A message from DHCD:
Dear Housing and Community Development Partners,
The 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan Draft is now available. Every five years, DHCD is required to produce this plan for HUD detailing how Massachusetts will use the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, Emergency Shelter Grant, and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS funding to advance housing and community development goals. This plan sets out goals and strategies for Massachusetts’ housing and community development priorities over the next five years. The plan is available online at www.mass.gov/dhcd (check the “news and updates” column).
This is only a draft of the plan, and the public is invited to comment on it. Comments may be submitted electronically to DhcdConsolidatedPlan@state.ma.us, via fax to (617)-573-1120, or by mail to DHCD, 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114, Attention: Patrick Hart by April 29, 2010.
