Community Development

Annual Action Plan

In accordance with the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) created from Title III of Division B of the Housing of Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the County of Kent is proposing a substantial amendment to its Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan which is a five-year document that allocates funding and dictates performance goals for the following federal entitlement programs: HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Shelter + Care (S+C).

NSP will provide grants to states, cities and counties totaling $3.92 billion to acquire, rehabilitate, demolish and redevelop foreclosed and abandoned residential properties. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) developed the formula for allocation of funds to states and local governments.
