Every five years, the City of Auburn is required to submit an updated Consolidated Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to guide the investment of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Auburn’s current Consolidated Plan ends in 2019, with the next plan (2020-2024) due to HUD by November 15, 2019. The Consolidated Plan is inclusive of the City of Auburn’s 2020 Annual Action Plan for CDBG projects.

Auburn is part of the larger King County Consortium, therefore Auburn’s Consolidated Plan is part of the larger regional plan. All King County Consortium members also largely share in the same Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, a required document that has also been updated and is included in packet.

Staff provided an overview of the updated Consolidated Plan, 2020 Annual Action Plan, and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice to Council during the October 14, 2019 Study Session. A Public Hearing to consider this Plan and hear public comment

was held before the City Council on October 7, 2019 in accordance with Auburn’s Citizen Participation Plan for Community Development Block Grant funds.

Resolution No. 5461, if adopted by City Council, adopts the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, and the 2020 Annual Action Plan, and authorizes the Mayor to implement such administrative procedures as may be necessary to carry out directions of the legislation.
