The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is the document submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that serves as the strategic plan for San Joaquin County and the Urban County jurisdictions of Escalon, Lathrop, Manteca, Ripon and Tracy for the implementation of programs funded by HUD. The Plan identifies local housing and community development needs and how these needs will be addressed. The Consolidated Plan also demonstrates how the County will meet national goals set by Congress to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities.
Each year the County prepares an Action Plan that identifies how entitlement grant funds provided by HUD will be used to address needs identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
