Summary of the Plan:

The 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan is composed of three main components:

1)The five-year Strategic Plan, discussing FFY 2018-2022funds and objectives

2)The one-year Annual Action Plan, discussing FFY2018-2019 funds and objectives

3)The Citizen Participation Plan, summarizing the State of Georgia’s commitment to engaging with all Georgia stakeholders and residents.

Extensive stakeholder and resident engagement has identified several key priorities for the State of Georgia, as presented in the 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan:

  • Housing Cost Burden Relief:The most common housing problem was moderate to severe cost burden, especially for households with incomes below 30% of the area median income. More than one-third of Georgia residents are cost burdened.
  • Homelessness:Homelessness affects an array of communities in Georgia, both urban and rural. Persons living with HIV/AIDS are more vulnerable to becoming homeless. The Plan identifies priority needs as rental assistance, rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention.
  • Non-Homeless Supportive Services:Georgia needs increased services for persons with HIV/AIDS and non-homeless supportive services.
  • Aging Infrastructure, Local Disinvestment:The assessment finds a large demand for community infrastructure, including water and wastewater systems as well as public facilities and services. The State is committed to engaging in increased efforts to provide for the viability of communities by creating and sustaining quality infrastructure and improving livability, health and safety, and economic development.
