City of Bangor
2010-2014
Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development
and
2010 Annual Action Plan
The Bangor 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan and 2010 Annual Action Plan presents a
coordinated approach to addressing Bangor's housing and community development needs over
the five-year period addressed by the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. The goal of the plan is to
integrate economic, physical and human development in a comprehensive and coordinated
fashion so that families and communities can work together and thrive.
The Consolidated Plan describes the City's planned use of federal, state and local funds
and other housing resources to address the needs of homeless and low- and moderate -income
households and persons in ways that promote community and individual stability.
The 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan integrates the application, planning and citizen
participation for Bangor's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Ultimately, the Consolidated Plan allows the City of Bangor, its citizens, housing and
related service providers and citizens, the opportunity to create a unified vision for community
development actions. The 2010-2014 Bangor Consolidated Plan, as required by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development must primarily benefit low- and moderate -
income persons in accordance with the following major goals:
Provide decent housing. Assist homeless persons to obtain affordable
housing; retain the affordable housing stock, increase the availability of
permanent housing that is affordable to low-income households; and increase
supportive housing that includes structural features and services to enable persons
with special needs to live in dignity.
Provide a suitable living environment. Improve the safety and livability of
neighborhoods; increase access to quality facilities and services; reduce the
isolation of income groups within areas by de -concentrating housing opportunities
and revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods; restore and preserve natural and
physical features of special value for historic, architectural, or aesthetic reasons;
and conserving energy resources.
Expand economic opportunities. Within this goal are creating jobs accessible
to low- and very low-income persons; providing funding for community
development that promotes long-term economic and social viability; and
empowering low- and very low-income persons in federally assisted and public
housing to achieve self-sufficiency.
