Annual Action Plans & Substantial Amendments

The City of Middletown offers this Annual Action Plan for public review and comment in order to gain public input about the strategies the City plans to use to implement its HUD-approved five-year Consolidated Plan. In 2020 the City of Middletown developed a five-year plan on how it intends to use its federal allocations of HUD funds – both CDBG and HOME – to impact the community. HUD provides an allocation of funding each year to the City of Middletown to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The PY24-25 Annual Action Plan has been revised to include the official allocation of funding from HUD. The draft plan was created using an estimated total based on previous years' allocations. The revised Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2024-2025 is below. Also below is the draft of the revised Citizen Participation Plan.  The plan has been amended to include language concerning substantial amendments.  The 30 day comment and review period begins May 15th and runs through June 14th.  Any comments can be delivered to the Development Services Department on the 3rd floor of the City Building at One Donham Plaza or emailed to Devra Wells, Development Services Director, at devraw@cityofmiddletown.org.
