Public hearings will take place via teleconference pursuant to Executive Order AB 361, issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom. 

The purpose of the public hearing is to allow for public input in the creation of the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, as well as the 2022-2023 Action Plan, which is based on priorities outlined in the Consolidated Plan. A Consolidated Plan describes and prioritizes the housing and community development needs, as well as activities to address those needs as defined and funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As required by HUD, the Consolidated Plan brings together, in one consolidated submission, the planning and application aspects of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds to address those priorities.

The City of Long Beach intends to provide reasonable accommodation for the Public Hearings in accordance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990. If special accommodations are required, please contact Alem Hagos at (562) 570-7403 at least 48 hours prior to the April 20, 2022, public hearing.
