- Manchester’s Community Improvement Program (CIP) Team is launching an update to its 5-Year Consolidated Plan for HUD funding and encourages residents to get involved by attending one of its three public hearings or complete a brief survey.
- Over the next 5 years, the City anticipates receiving an annual average of $2.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Program, and Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) program funds.
- The City needs your input and ideas to ensure its plan accurately reflects the needs of the community and its funding decisions are shaped by residents’ priorities. There are 3 public hearing opportunities to attend and make your voice heard:
- Tuesday, February 11, 2025 (6:00-7:30 pm), located at the Carol M. Rines Center, 1528 Elm Street
- Wednesday, February 12, 2025 (6:00-7:30 pm), located at the Manchester Community Resource Center (MCRC), 434 Lake Avenue (4th Floor); or
- Thursday, February 13, 2025 (6:00-7:30 pm), located at the Elmwood Gardens Community Center, 83 Trahan Street.
Topics to be discussed include healthy neighborhoods, economic development, home ownership and affordable housing development, addressing homelessness, health and human services, recreational opportunities, and infrastructure improvements. Refreshments will be served and there will be activities for children.
