The HUD website states the following: “The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions.

The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the CPD formula block grant programs. ” Access the ConPlan Overview Presentation for more information.

View the 2020-2024 City of Milwaukee ConPlan , including 10 “Navigator” tools that focus on one issue in the plan, highlighting goals, assets and opportunities, strategies, and community feedback. The Consolidated Planning process is an opportunity to listen to a diverse set of voices which will inform civic leaders and shape community-focused programs over the next five years.

Throughout the community engagement process, we hope to: Incorporate work that has already been done by other groups (e.g. area or neighborhood plans, community planning efforts, other City initiatives in housing and economic development). Align and connect with other community engagement efforts (e.g. Growing MKE, community health needs assessment). Use experts and data to define the scope of data collected.

Work in collaboration to positively facilitate complaints and manage expectations. Attend Community Gatherings Make use of pre-existing convenings. Prepare for multiple formats and durations.

Include the “fun factor” (interactive discussion, games/activities, incentives) – we really want to know what people think! Offer and facilitate focused small-group discussions with affinity groups to leverage expertise of people active in housing and economic development. Seek out residents and community leaders for their direct input and feedback.

Be present at neighborhood and community events when possible.
