St. Lucie HOME Consortium invites Treasure Coast residents, non-profits to take part in community needs survey
The St. Lucie HOME Consortium invites residents and non-profits located on the Treasure Coast to participate in a community needs survey. The purpose is to gather information from the public on needed community facilities and services in Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties.
The information will be used to establish recommendations in the Consolidated Plan and the First Year Action Plan. Then it will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The survey links can be found at www.slchousing.org. It will be available through July 24.
In June of 2006, the unincorporated areas of St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties came together to form the St. Lucie HOME Consortium. This partnership has brought federal funding from the HUD HOME Investment Partnerships Program to these three areas. Otherwise it had been unavailable due to population size.
The Consortium is required to submit an annual action plan each year. The plan identifies priorities and strategies to be undertaken utilizing HOME funding for the next fiscal year. The Consolidated Plan is required to be submitted every five years. It identifies needs and priorities to be addressed over the upcoming five-year program cycle.
