Dalton City to Discuss 2024-28 Housing Plans: Public Review Meeting Scheduled

Dalton City has scheduled a Public Review Meeting to discuss the 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan, 2024 Annual Action Plan, and 2024 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The meeting will take place at 11:00 A.M on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at the Mack Gaston Community Center. These plans are part of the city's obligations to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to secure funds for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG).

The 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan and 2024 Annual Action Plan will detail the city's annual funding allocation. The 2024 CDBG allocations have not been released by HUD yet. For context, Dalton received $367,688.00 in CDBG funding for the fiscal year 2023. The 2024 CDBG Program funding allocations will be posted on the city's website once available.

Drafts of the 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan, 2024 Annual Action Plan, and 2024 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice will be open for public review and comment on the city's website. Written comments will be accepted until 5:00 P.M. on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. The city guarantees that these plans will not result in displacement.

If displacement occurs, the city will follow the provisions required by CFR 570.606 (Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance). Dalton is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of disability, in all its programs and activities.

Dalton’s CDBG Office is ready to assist individuals with limited English proficiency and those needing reasonable accommodation to participate fully in open meetings, programs, or activities. Assistance requests can be made by contacting the CDBG Office at (706) 529-2470 or cdbg@daltonga.gov.
