~ Bloomington, IN- The City of Bloomington is currently in the process of developing two important community planning documents as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These documents are crucial for the city to continue receiving funding for affordable housing and community development activities for low- and moderate-income residents.

The first document, known as the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, involves a thorough review of the city's housing and housing-related programs and policies. The goal is to ensure that these programs are administered in a non-discriminatory manner, without regard for a person's race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, familial status or ancestry.

The second document is the Five-Year Consolidated Plan which analyzes housing and homeless needs in Bloomington. This plan will determine the city's priority needs for affordable housing and community development.

To gather public input on these planning processes, the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) department has scheduled three public meetings from August 20th to September 3rd, 2024. These meetings will be held both in-person and virtually through Zoom. Residents are encouraged to attend these meetings or provide feedback through an online survey if they are unable to attend.
