VIRGINIA BEACH – The city’s Housing & Neighborhood Preservation is currently accepting public comments on its draft Annual Action Plan for the 2019 fiscal year (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020).
The plan outlines how the department will use and allocate more than $4.7 million in funding under the following federal entitlement grants: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solutions Grant and the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS Program, officials wrote in a news release.
