HUD has mandated that all entitlement cities submit a Consolidated Plan, including an Annual Action Plan, governing housing and community development needs within the jurisdiction using U.S. Census data, locally adopted planning documents, and through a public participation process.
On December 13, 2023, a public hearing was held before the Community Development Advisory Board (CDAB) and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) to obtain citizen input during the development of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
On May 8, 2024, the CDAB reviewed and evaluated the proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan for federal program years 2024/2025-2028/2029 and the Annual Action Plan, and subject to minor revisions and the inclusion of activities eligible for funding for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, have forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Commission.
HUD has allocated $1,234,567.00 in CDBG funds for the City of Hollywood and the City has estimated the receipt of $220,300.00 in CDBG Program Income for use in Federal Program Year 2024-2025.
HUD has allocated $517,547.00.00 in HOME funds for the City of Hollywood and the City has estimated the receipt of $1,500,000.00 in HOME Program Income for use in Federal Program Year 2024-2025.
Notice to the public advising of the availability of a summary draft of the proposed Annual Action Plan, based on the allocations and anticipated program income, was published in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on May 17, 2024 to solicit citizen input for the required comment period of 30 days.
On June 12, 2024, the City held an advertised public hearing at the regularly scheduled CDAB meeting to obtain citizen input. The following activities represent the recommendations of staff and the CDAB for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, which are subject to City Commission approval following a public hearing:

The Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan is submitted to HUD via an on-line platform known as the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). The approved plans are due to HUD by mid-August, which is 45 days prior to the program year.
