It describes community development priorities and the multi-year goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of housing and economic market conditions, and available resources.
The Draft 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identifies the following housing and community development priorities for utilizing HUD funding:
-
Affordable Housing: Increase the supply and improve the condition of affordable owner-occupied and rental housing in the community.
-
Public Facilities and Infrastructure: Provide public facilities and infrastructure meeting the needs of low-moderate income persons.
-
Support Services: Reduce poverty, increase stability, and address homelessness by supporting health, well-being and self-sufficiency programs.
-
Economic Development: Increase economic opportunity for residents through job training and business assistance programs.
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports
The City of St. Cloud is required to prepare an assessment of its accomplishments toward meeting the priority goals outlined in the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan to citizens and HUD. This annual assessment is known as the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER provides a review and evaluation of the City of St. Cloud’s progress toward meeting the annual goals and outcomes as outlined in the PY2010 Annual Action Plan and larger five year goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.

Housing Needs Analysis
In January 2013, the City of St. Cloud, in partnership with several community stakeholders, commissioned a housing assessment to enhance the understanding of housing and homeless issues throughout the community.
An update of this study was completed in 2019. The assessment is intended to quantify the supply and demand for the full range of the housing spectrum in St. Cloud.
