Plans & Reports

Consolidated Plan

The City of Urbana and Urbana HOME Consortium (Champaign/Urbana/Champaign County) 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan outlines the five-year goals and strategies for addressing various housing and community development needs in the Consortium-wide area. The Consolidated Plan also includes the FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plans for the City of Urbana and the City of Champaign (see Annual Action Plan section.) These plans outline each jurisdiction's one-year goals for the Community Development Block Grant entitlement funding received annually. The City of Urbana serves as the lead entity of the Urbana HOME Consortium; as such, the City of Urbana's Annual Action Plan also incorporates the Consortium's one-year goals for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program.

The FY 2020-2024 Housing Program Manual contains guidelines for housing programs offered, as funding is available, and is adopted every five years along with the new Consolidated Plan.

The FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is under development and will be completed in 2025. It will detail the next 5 years of community development goals for use of federal HUD funds. To share your thoughts on community needs, consider taking our online Community Needs Survey. Survey results will inform needs, goals, and strategies identified in the upcoming Consolidated Plan. 

Annual Action Plan

The Annual Action Plan is a required component of the five-year Consolidated Plan, which outlines the goals and strategies of the City of Urbana and Urbana HOME Consortium using a variety of federal funding sources including HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Community Development Block Grant funds. The Annual Action Plan is a one-year implementation strategy for each year of the Consolidated Plan, which identifies how the City of Urbana and the Urbana HOME Consortium will meet community development and housing needs.
