The City’s Community Development Office within the Planning and Economic Development Department is responsible for the development and administration of each one-year Action Plan and for each five-year Consolidated Plan. The Community Development Office ensures all administrative and program compliance requirements are met according to the regulations
governing the CDBG program for all of the plans’ funded activities. Other city departments provide the various expertise needed for particular procedures required for some aspects of the implementation of these plans.
This Consolidated Plan was informed through a comprehensive citizen participation process along with other related planning and research projects such as Roadmap Rhode Island and the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Community Development Office implements citizen participation efforts such as surveys, community meetings, outreach to a wide spectrum of stakeholders. The City’s past experience and capacity managing this process and these funds should ensure the implementation of this plan is successful.
