Residents of Prescott have a chance to voice their opinions on how federal funds should be spent in their city. A draft of the City's plans for housing and community development, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has been released for public scrutiny. In a document that showcases how low- and moderate-income residents could benefit from these funds, the City of Prescott is inviting feedback until June 25th.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the June 25th public hearing, where the Prescott City Council will deliberate on the Program Year 2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP), preceded by a public commentary phase that opened for input starting May 22nd. Individuals looking to review the draft can request a copy through multiple venues, including by ringing up the CDBG Coordinator at 928-777-1205 or swinging by the local Prescott Public Library.

Details of the AAP are available through the City of Prescott's official website, outlined in a draft that purports to tackle pressing economic challenges faced by many Prescott residents who are struggling to make ends meet. The action plan encapsulates a range of strategies aimed at enhancing housing quality and affordability, as well as bolstering broader economic opportunities for its citizens.

For those who wish to submit their comments or suggestions regarding the Action Plan, it can be done directly via email to the CDBG Coordinator at [email protected].
