Community Development

Community Development Programs 

Auburn’s Community Development programing offers various public service, public infrastructure, and public service programs. These are funded in part by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). CDBG funds have been used to assist with improvements to public facilities such as streets, sidewalks, development of parks, extension of public service, rehabilitation of housing and commercial properties, economic development, and public services.  HOME funds are earmarked specifically for the development of new affordable housing units and rental assistance programs.

The Community Development Department develops an annual budget each year for Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds under the process described within the Citizen Participation Plan and is approved by the Auburn City Council.

HUD conducts an environmental review process on all HUD-assisted projects. Visit HUD for more information. 

Consolidated and Action Plans

The Consolidated Plan (and Action Plan) process is intended to encourage communities to allocate federal resources to address local needs and market conditions. The Consolidated Plan describes the market and inventory conditions, the housing needs of owners, renters, homeless and special needs populations, and community development needs. The 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan sets forth five-year strategies and performance benchmarks for measuring progress. The Action Plan is a document that describes the activities that will be undertaken, goals and objectives that will be pursued, and a spending plan for Community Development and HOME funds each year.  

Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)

The CAPER is an assessment of the effectiveness of using Community Development and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds to address priorities and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan for providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons.
