Introduction Washington County is eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds as an entitlement community, also known as a "participating jurisdiction", from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Washington County also receives Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds through its participation in the Dakota County Consortium (Anoka, Dakota, suburban Ramsey, and Washington counties). HUD requires that each entitlement community prepare a Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan to meet statutory planning and application requirements for the receipt and use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds. The Consolidated Plan includes housing, community development, and public service priorities. The 2006 Annual Action Plan is consistent with the 2006 Funding Priorities of the 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan describes the resources the county will use and the activities to be undertaken in 2006 to address the priority needs and specific objectives identified in the 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan.
