KHC and the Kentucky Department for Local Government (DLG) are currently drafting the five-year plan for the HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solutions, Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS, and Community Development Block Grant Programs. The plan consists of a Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, Strategic Plan, and the first Annual Action Plan. Partners are encouraged to read the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis drafts, available on KHC's website under Resources, Data Library, Consolidated Plan. These documents will be updated periodically over the next several weeks. In mid-February 2015, KHC and DLG will hold a public hearing to gather information on housing needs.

KHC and DLG need and value partner input into the plan. In addition, KHC and DLG wish to ensure that the citizens of Kentucky are afforded the opportunity to participate in the process, and invite partners, service providers, local governments, and other housing professionals to complete a partner survey. Also, a citizen survey for Kentucky residents is also available, and KHC and DLG encourage our partners to provide this survey to clients. A paper version of the survey is also available. After the Kentucky citizen completes the survey, the partner agency should enter the information into the Web form.
