PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the draft Dakota County Consortium 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2025-2029 Consolidated Plan) and Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 One-Year Action Plan (2025 Action Plan) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Programs.
SUMMARY
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) administers the federal CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs on behalf of Dakota County. These federal programs receive annual grants in amounts determined by Congress to be used towards housing and community development activities.

The Consolidated Plan establishes the grantee's funding priorities and distribution process. The proposed activities for the 2025 Action Plan meet the housing and community development priorities proposed in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
