CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR STATE-ADMINISTERED PROGRAMS
The Consolidated Plan is a document developed pursuant to 24 CFR 91, which describes needs, goals
and objectives of the agencies responsible for the administration of certain federally funded programs
administered by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated
Plan must meet HUD requirements set out in 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570 in order for the State to continue
to receive funds that are used to meet local housing, community development and social services needs.
The Consolidated Plan process allows key agencies in Florida to exchange information on goals and
objectives relating to housing, community development and social services and facilitates a consolidated
approach to meeting those needs. Through this effort, each affected agency, as well as other interested
parties, gain insight into the structure and activities of several federally funded programs that have a
direct benefit on local communities and the state as a whole. The Plan is a resource for data and
statistics that are often needed by Floridas regional planning councils, district health and social services
offices, housing authorities and local governments when they are addressing housing, community
development and social services issues.
