• All grantees are required to submit a Consolidated Plan• Grantees use to 20% of CDBG funds can be for

administration and planning• As CDBG funds are reduced, support for these staff is

also reduced

Current Con Plan Limitations

• Paper submission• Form used by most grantees is redundant and

produces several “plans within a plan”• Data provided by HUD is insufficient and

cumbersome• Limited Grantee capacity

• A lot of grantees hire consultants to prepare their plans• We estimate that only one third of grantees have

mapping capacity• Grantee governments face structural deficits, layoffs

and furloughs

Current Con Plan Limitations:According to Survey of COSCDA Members

• Performance Indicators need to be included in the PER• The CPMP tool was never developed for states• A seamless planning, data input and reporting process

is needed

Applying What We’ve Learned

From NSP• Data, mapping technology, TA and guidance all help

grantees create programs that meet community needs

HUD’s work• Practical grantee support

– Useful data – Better technology– Helpful technical assistance

Planning:New Template, Data & Tool for Planning

Electronic submission template• Incorporate Template for Con Plan and Annual Action Plan into

IDIS• Connect Con Plan Goals to activities and outcomes• Pre-populate tables with data from CPD Maps Database

Enhanced planning data• Data that speaks to all uses of grant funds

– Example: Economic development data

Data mapping tool• Make data easy to understand and manage• Support needs assessment

Template:Facilitate integrated planning and decision-making

Current CPMP template: Redesigned template for IDIS

o Housing– Needs– Priority needs– Inventory (housing market

analysis)– Objectives

o Homeless – Needs– Priority needs– Inventory – Objectives

o Community Development– Needs….

o Non-homeless special needs– Needs….

o Inventory– Housing– Homeless– Non-homeless special needs– Non-housing Community

Developmento Needs

– Housing– Homeless– Non-homeless special needs– Non-housing Community

Developmento Prioritieso Goals/Objectives

Template:Simplify and standardize information provided by grantees

Collect information more efficiently:• Supplement narrative sections with tables to summarize

visually• Standard format

Integrate input from planning data and GIS tool • Data from database automatically populate tables in Con

Plan • Allow grantees to import tables and maps created in GIS

tool

CPD Maps – What’s next? More data:

o CHAS data available at census tract levelo Continuum of Care planning datao Public Housing datao Data describing key community development needs

More maps:o Non-entitlement units of general local governmento More data (ACS and CHAS) displayed at census-tract level

CPD Maps – What’s next?

Enhanced function:

o Queries based on multiple variables o Ex. identify Low-income census tracts with median rents

greater than FMRo Export maps and data tableso Integrate into IDIS Online

o Upload maps and reports from CPD Maps to Con Plans in IDIS

Status and Next Steps

• CPD Maps Prototype available at: http://egis.hud.gov/cpdmaps Use “Feedback” link to learn more and offer your input

• IDIS improvements in design phase

• Summer 2011:• Webinars• Sessions at national meetings

• Scheduled Completion: April 2012
