The Annual Action Plan outlines how the City will use anticipated U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding to address affordable housing and community development needs in Greensboro and Guilford County, from the following programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).

The reprogramming of HUD funds requires a substantial amendment.

The purpose of the proposed substantial amendment to the 2022 Annual Action Plan is to use federal dollars to support a new local project eligible for funding under the HOPWA Grant.

The substantial amendment would allocate $3,028,483 in HOPWA for permanent supportive housing.
