The City of Miami Department of Housing & Community Development is set to host public hearings to address community needs and establish priorities for federally funded activities within the city. The meetings are part of the preparations for the City of Miami Consolidated Plan 2024-2028 and Action Plan 2024-2025.

The department will discuss activities that can be funded through federal grant programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), all administered by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the hearings to provide input on community needs related to federal funds. The meetings aim to gather feedback that will contribute to shaping the future plans and priorities for the city's development.

The public hearings will be held at various locations and dates, with opportunities for individuals to engage in discussions regarding the allocation of federal funds. Interested persons can also provide comments and input through different channels, including email, fax, and online submissions.

In light of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, special accommodations can be arranged for those requiring assistance to participate in the hearings. Individuals in need of such accommodations are advised to contact the Department of Housing & Community Development in advance.
