The City of Perth Amboy is planning for FY 2022 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) programs funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist persons who are low-to-moderate income, remove slums and blight and /or address urgent needs in the City of Perth Amboy.  The City’s allocations for fiscal year 2022 (June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023) are in the amount of $628,064.00 for CDBG and $495,170.00 for HOME.

A public hearing is being scheduled in the initial stages of the Annual Action Plan.  The information received from interested individuals at the hearing will assist the City and the Development Advisory Committee in the preparation of the 2022 Annual Action Plan.  The hearing is designed to obtain resident’s views and to respond to questions. Residents are invited to provide written or verbal comments at or prior to the public hearing.  Information will be made available to residents regarding application procedures, timing, eligible activities and other regulations related to the CDBG and HOME programs.  As contained in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the housing and community development priorities of the City are as follow:  provide a suitable living environment; provide decent affordable housing and create or expand economic opportunities.  These priorities will be reviewed and the public is encouraged to comment.

The draft 2022 Annual Action Plan will be prepared following the closing of the committee review and a public hearing is set to be held on July 7, 2022 at 3:00 P.M. via a telephone and ZOOM meeting.
