BT06/21/12 ### ________________________ *PUBLIC NOTICE *EXECUTIVE SUMMARY *JEFFERSON COUNTY CONSORTIUM *PROPOSED 2012-13 ACTION PLAN SUMMARY FOR *COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS *INTRODUCTION The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that in order to receive funding under the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA), each entitlement city or urban county must prepare a Consolidated Plan. This Plan was prepared in the year 2010. The Plan identifies housing and non-housing needs over a five year period, assigns priorities to each of the needs and a strategy for meeting those needs, and sets out a one year Action Plan establishing funding. The overall goal of the community development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The Jefferson County Consortium is made up of the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, Alabama and 30 municipalities within the County. The Cities of Birmingham, Bessemer and Hoover, County Line, Sumiton, Argo, Helena and West Jefferson are the only cities in the County not participating in the Consortium. Birmingham, Bessemer and Hoover are entitlement cities themselves. This proposed 2012 Action Plan was developed in cooperation with these cities and with the assistance of area agencies and the public. The final Projected Use of Funds will be developed after receiving citizen comments and views at a public hearing to be held on June 29, 2012 at 2:00 pm at the Jefferson County Office of Community Development, 716 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. North – Suite A420 (Downtown Birmingham). Comments regarding this proposal must be submitted prior to 5:00 PM on July 23, 2012. Written comments should be submitted to the following: Proposed 2012 One-Year Action Plan Jefferson County Office of Community & Economic Development 716 Richard Arrington Jr Blvd N, Ste.

Jefferson County also plans to apply to the State of Alabama for additional Emergency Solutions Grant funds. *HOMELESS The ESG components serving those who are homeless are 1) street outreach, 2) emergency shelter and 3) rapid re-housing with data collected in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). *HOMELESS PREVENTION The ESG component serving those who are at risk of homelessness is homeless prevention activities with data collected in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Homeless Prevention activities are limited to Individuals and families with annual incomes below 30% AMI and are at risk of becoming homeless. *Eligible Activities: Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services; and Short-Term Rental Assistance – up to 3 months Medium-Term Rental Assistance – 4 to 24 months *HOMELESS PREVENTION & RAPID RE-HOUSING: HOUSING RELOCATION & STABILIZATION SERVICES The following are allowable activities for both Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing: Financial Assistance & Housing Relocation & Stabilization Services.
