Introduction
The 2024 Action Plan for Genesee County, Michigan reflects the priorities, goals, and expected outcomes for programs, projects, and activities funded with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant dollars. Genesee County receives HUD funds for three programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The priorities, goals, and outcomes are based on data provided by HUD, a housing conditions survey conducted for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, U.S. Census data, information from local agencies, citizen input, and data from other sources.

The primary focus of HUD funds is to provide safe, decent and affordable housing options; a suitable living environment; opportunities to expand economic activities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons; and to operate emergency shelters, provide essential social services, and prevent homelessness.

Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) is authorized by the Genesee County Board of Commissioners to act as the lead agency for the development of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which also includes the development of the 2024 Action Plan. There are thirty-three municipalities located in Genesee County. One, the City of Flint, is a HUD entitlement community and receives separate funding to implement programs in the City. Of the remaining thirty-two municipalities, twenty-nine participate in the County’s Community Development Program. Non-participating communities include the City of Clio, Village of Lennon, and the Village of Otter Lake.
