The "Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan" (Consolidated Plan) guides the investment of approximately $12 million per year in federal housing and community development funds, and an additional $9 million per year in other federal or related state and local funds, to address housing, homeless, and community development needs throughout the King County Consortium over the next five years, from 2005 through 2009.
The King County Consortium includes most of the suburban cities in the county, as well as the unincorporated areas of the county. It does not include the City of Seattle, which prepares its own Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan contains a needs assessment, an analysis of barriers to meeting needs, a strategic plan that contains broad goals, objectives, strategies and performance measures, 11 appendices and maps.
