The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan that provides a unified vision for developing actions designed to address housing and community development needs. Development of the Plan is a collaborative process that creates the opportunity for citizen participation in setting long-term strategies and short-term actions to meet priority needs. An Action Plan: One Year Use of Funds is required by regulation under the CDBG Program. The City of DeKalb will receive an estimated $400,000 in CDBG funds for grant year 2023-2024 (April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024).

The 2023 Annual Action Plan is subject to consideration and public input by members of the community and DeKalb City Council.
