and strategies for addressing housing and community development needs in the community. The Consolidated Plan includes
information on population and housing conditions, as well as City strategies for Safe Neighborhoods, Infrastructure and
Facilities, Housing Choices, Economic Opportunities, and Healthy Families. In addition, the Continuum of Care contributes
