"The City of Jackson is a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) idenfied entitlement community. As such, the City has been the recipient of Community Deveopment Block Grant (CDBG) funds since 1974 and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds since 1991. Every five years, the City of Jackson is required to submit a Consolidated Plan providing an opportunity to shape various housing and community development programs into effective strategies. The Consolidated Plan serves as the application for federal funds under HUD's entitlement programs, provides a course of action in carrying out activities over the next five years, and is the planning document for assessing performance and tracking results in meeting HUD's three statutory goals in the development of viable urban communities: decent housing, suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. Eligible activities are principally targeted toward persons of low- and moderated-income. This 5-Year Consolidated Plan will cover the time period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2015, which is also referred to as Program Years 2010 to 2014. In addition to the five-year Consolidated Plan, the City must also complete and submit annual Action Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER)."-- Executive Summary.
