The City of Independence, Missouri is an entitlement grantee that receives Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The City’s acceptance of entitlement funds requires the City of Independence to prepare and submit to HUD a Five (5)-Year Consolidated Plan that suitably determines a needs analysis of the City’s
demographics and similarly considers the stated and unmet needs of citizens and stakeholders. The City’s 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan was approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD in 2022. It serves as an application for funding and a planning guide for the use of federally funded program activities. The Plan documents the City’s efforts to ensure an engaging Citizen Participation process occurred in the planning of these activities.
