The City of New Bedford’s Office of Housing and Community Development is hosting two (2) public meetings in January to discuss its FY21 Annual Action Plan.
As part of its Annual Action Plan process, the City’s Office of Housing & Community Development (OHCD) is hosting to explain and discuss the federal funding that the city receives as an entitlement community under the U.S. Department of Housing & Community Development.
Join us in this virtual meeting to hear about these programs and share your ideas about these limited federal funds and how they could be used to serve the needs of New Bedford residents, particularly those of low and moderate incomes, over the coming fiscal year.
We hope you will take the time to join us for one of these sessions; we want to hear what you think are the greatest housing and community development needs and priorities within the City of New Bedford!
If you intend on applying for funding you are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in one of these two forums.
Information will be provided explaining how to submit proposals that will respond to those needs in the coming fiscal
year. Two times are available via ZOOM (the second meeting is a repeat of the first):
