Utilizing federal, state and local resources, the City of Warren provides an assortment of community development activities for its residents, especially those individuals earning less than area median income.  Funds are used to support a range of community development needs, including infrastructure improvements, housing services, economic development assistance, and supportive services - all which improve the physical and social environment of city neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life for all Warren residents.

 

CONSOLIDATED HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Consolidated Plan is a collaborative process through which the Community Development Department identifies housing and community development needs and establishes goals, priorities, and strategies to measure progress in addressing those needs throughout the community. Designed to provide specific revitalization guidelines, the Consolidated Plan integrates community, economic, environmental and physical development in a comprehensive and coordinated fashion so that individuals and organizations can work together and succeed.

ACTION PLAN

Annually, the Community Development Department sets funding priorities to be completed during the upcoming calendar year.  These objectives are then accomplished through the receipt and expenditure of federal, state, and local grant financing, as well as competitive private funding.  Utilizing extensive citizen participation and public input, those projects are selected which best suit the goals laid out in the five-year Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan.
