91.220(b) 1. Introduction Hamilton County is required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create a five year Consolidated Plan to outline strategies and plans for expending three entitlement grants comprised of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Partnership Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). This plan includes the County's needs analysis, market analysis, strategic plan for 2015-2019 and the Annual Action plan for 2015. The 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan process sought input through a variety of means including an online community survey, participating community public hearings, internal staff meetings and the Community Development Advisory Committee. Efforts were made to include a broad cross-section of the community during the process. Existing programs and services were evaluated for performance in order to best allocate resources given shrinking HUD resources for entitlement grants. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The following objectives have been established based on priorities identified through community surveys, participating community and agency input, the citizen participation process, etc.: Rental assistance, especially for special needs populations Homeowner repair services Public infrastructure and facilities repairs or improvements Public services Homelessness prevention Demolition of blighted, condemned or obsolete residential and commercial structures 3.

Through this evaluation, the County concludes what projects or programs are successful and where weaknesses exist. This information is utilized to plan future projects. The County has been successful in Consolidated
