Once a year, two (2) public hearings will be held on general housing and community development needs within Newport

The hearing will be held prior to the start of the annual funding process, and will provide input to the Annual Action Plan

development needs via other methods, including but not limited to surveys, outreach meetings, special study groups and
community reports and plans.
