Berkeley County is seeking public feedback on its PY2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP), which addresses local housing and community development needs.
The public may comment on the plan draft through April 15.
The plan summarizes the actions, activities and funding resources the county needs to address the needs and goals identified by the consolidated plan annually. Needs can cover public facilities, economic development, housing, public services, and other eligible activities in unincorporated areas and within participating municipalities within the county.
The PY 2024 Annual Action Plan outlines proposed projects and activities by the county’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program to address the identified priority needs and goals in the consolidated plan. Based on the prior PY grant allocations, the county expects to receive an estimated $1,284,550 in CDBG funding and $552,117 in HOME funding from HUD for PY 2024, which begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2025.
The proposed budget for PY 2024 will be presented to the county council in April.
Hard copies of the plan, including blank pages for comments, are available at the welcome desk in the front lobby of the county administration building at 1003 N. Highway 52 in Moncks Corner.
Comments on the annual action plan may be submitted to the county’s CDBG Grants Specialist, LeChele Brown, at lechele.brown@berkeleycountysc.gov or delivered to the Grants Administration Office at 1003 N. Highway 52 in Moncks Corner. For more information, call 843-719-4766.
