GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The State of Florida receives annual funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The State agencies receiving these funds are the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Children and Families (DCF), and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). As a recipient of these funds, Florida is required to prepare a State Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a five (5) year planning document that identifies targeting strategies for the use of these funds. The Department of Economic Opportunity has been designated as the lead agency for preparing the Plan on behalf of the State agencies that are recipients of HUD funding.

As citizen participation is a vital component in the development of the Plan, public meetings will be held throughout the state to allow citizens the opportunity to provide comment on impediments to fair housing choice.
