The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is considered the "master plan" for affordable housing in local communities and states. It is a community-based strategic planning document mandated by federal law and administered through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The ConPlan is also an application to HUD for four housing and community development programs. It is intended by law to be a long-range planning document that describes housing needs, market conditions, and housing strategies, including an action plan for the investment of federal housing funds.
The ConPlan is prepared by all states and certain local government jurisdictions and submitted for approval by HUD. States and local governments can receive federal housing and community development funds from the following programs:
HOME
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA)
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)

TAC’s publication Piecing It All Together is an excellent resource for the disability community to use to learn more about the ConPlan process, and the valuable affordable housing resources controlled by the ConPlan.
