Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction Memphis is located in the southwest quadrant of Tennessee. It is the largest city in the state. It also serves as the county seat of Shelby County, Tennessee. According to the 2017 ACS Five Year Estimates, the population is approximately 654,723 residents. In 2016, the population of the Memphis metropolitan area was estimated to be 1,342,842 – making it the second largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in the state after Nashville-Davidson County and the 42nd largest in the country. The city of Memphis is an entitlement community. As such, the city is eligible to receive direct assistance under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program; to be a participating jurisdiction under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); and a formula grantee under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). Funds for these programs must be expended within the city of Memphis for participants who meet applicable eligibility criteria and be used for eligible activities as outlined by program regulations. In addition, the city of Memphis is a formula grantee under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program; these funds are used to address the needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families in the metropolitan area. As a recipient of federal grant funds, HCD is required by HUD to produce a Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). This plan covers the city’s strategic initiatives over a five year period. Additionally, an Annual Action Plan is submitted yearly and is a formal way to update the ConPlan. Both, the ConPlan and Annual Action Plan direct funding activities for the City of Memphis federal programs (CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA). The City of Memphis’ five year ConPlan identifies the community’s affordable housing, community development and economic development needs and outlines a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for addressing them. This document includes narrative responses to specific questions that grantees must provide to be compliant with the Consolidated Planning Regulations. The current Consolidated Plan covers the period of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024. As stated, the Consolidated Plan is updated each year to reflect proposed activities and goals for the upcoming program year. Therefore, this Consolidated Plan document is also comprised of the 2019 Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan for July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020 identifies projects that will be or are currently being implemented and Consolidated Plan MEMPHIS 1 of 280 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) describes the use of Federal, State and local housing resources. In the pages to follow, you will find a summary of our current and future plans, priorities, programs, activities and the organizational structure, which will support the plan. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment The goals, objectives, and outcomes can be found under the Strategic Plan section of the plan under goals and priority needs and in section AP-20 - Annual Goals and Objectives. 3. Evaluation of past performance The 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan identified four categories of projects: affordable housing, homeless, non-homeless special needs, and non-housing community development. Accomplishments made during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018 in these areas helped to develop goals and projects. Under affordable housing, HCD provided down payment assistance to 22 low and moderate income homebuyers using HOME funds. An additional 66 were provided down payment assistance through the City-funded portion of the program, which has a higher income limit. Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) contributed to meeting housing needs through the construction of five housing units and the rehabilitation of three homeowner housing units. Acquisition and rehab of three rental units was underway at the end of the 2016 program year.
