Annual Action Plan

The City of Coral Springs has participated in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement allocation formula as a recipient of federal funds, under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program since 2000.

In Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the City of Coral Springs will receive an allocation of $798,821. The Federal Requirements for the HUD CDBG grant programs set fourth three basic goals, which are closely related to the major commitments and priorities of HUD.  Each of these goals must primarily benefit very low-, low- and moderate-income persons within the context described below:

  1. To provide a suitable living environment.
  2. To provide decent housing.
  3. To expand economic opportunities.

In July 2020, the City Commission approved a Five-Year Consolidated Strategic Plan that assessed local housing and community development needs and resources, and socio-economic impediments toward building viable neighborhoods.  Each year HUD requires the city develop and submit an Annual Action Plan that identifies the proposed projects for the fiscal year that shows the linkage between projects and the specific objectives developed to address the priority goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.
