Consolidated Plan

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established several national goals that guide the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. The three broad goals include “Securing Decent Housing,” “Providing a Suitable Living Environment,” and “Expanding Economic Opportunities.” The Consolidated Plan is developed to determine how these goals will be met within the City of Norwalk over the next five years (2015-2020). 

Annual Action Plan

The principal purpose of the Annual Action Plan is to show how the CDBG Funds will be expended during the year in a way that addresses the needs, priorities and objectives contained in the City’s Consolidated Plan.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice

The Analysis focuses on actions, omissions and decisions made because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin, which restrict, or have the effect of restricting, housing choices or the availability of housing choices in the City of Norwalk.
