Department: Planning

Background Information: The 2004-2009 Consolidated Plan (Section 3,
Strategic Plan) outlines how the City will address the community's housing and
community development needs over the next five years. The priority needs, goals
and objectives were determined by City staff with input from meetings, public
hearings, and discussion with area service providers. One of the principles of the
Consolidated Plan is to encourage collaboration with and between public, private,
and non-profit agencies in order to ensure the efficient and effective provision of
services.
Catholic Charities of Central Texas is applying for funding to start providing
homebuyer counseling in Williamson County in October 2008. Certification of
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan is required when an agency is applying to
HUD for additional federal grant funds.
Catholic Charities will be targeting LMI populations through some of the same local
partnerships they have established to deliver financial literacy education under the
two year United Way of Williamson County grant it received last year.
Part of the documentation needed for inclusion in their application is a letter
indicating that a homebuyer education program would be consistent with the City of
Round Rock's Consolidated Plan.
