Fair Housing Assessment & 2018-2023 Consolidated Plan
City of Greenville
Greenville, NC
Introduction and Background
The City of Greenville, North Carolina is a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) programs. As such, the City is required to undertake the Consolidated Planning process and an assessment of fair housing issues in accordance with the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, under the new Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) approach.
The City of Greenville has been a CDBG entitlement community since 1994. CDBG funds can be used with great flexibility to provide "decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income". In addition to the CDBG funds, the City receives HOME funds for affordable housing. The allocation of CDBG and HOME funds is detailed in the City's Annual Action Plan.
