City of Danville's Consolidated Plan

In 1994, federal regulations, which cover the planning and application aspects of four federal programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were revised to require the consolidated planning and submission of applications and reports. Previously, each of the programs involved separate preparation, application, public reviews, and input processes at the local level. The Consolidated Plan is now a requirement that combines the broad planning requirements of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 with the annual applications and reporting for the HUD programs that are administered locally. The City of Danville administers two of the four programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME).

The City has prepared a five year Consolidated Plan (2020-2024). For more information on the five year Consolidated Plan, contact our office at 434-799-5260. Within this plan, a one-year Action Plan is prepared annually that specifies projects and activities to be funded each year. Coordination of resources and compilation of data for the Consolidated Plan is accomplished through a process that combines public hearings, meetings, surveys, input from the Housing and Development Advisory Committee, and public comment and review. The development process involves analyzing existing data and consulting with public and private agencies that provide assisted housing and health and social services. This includes providers to children, elderly citizens, people with disabilities, people with HIV / AIDS and their families, and the homeless.
