The Consolidated Plan is the City of New York's annual application to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Office of Community Planning and Development four entitlement programs:  Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).  These federal funds are used to address affordable housing, homelessness, supportive housing services and community development needs for programs which were conceived either to directly or indirectly benefit low- and moderate-income households.  The 2009 Consolidated Plan represents the fifth and final year of New York City's five‑year strategic plan for Consolidated Plan Years 2005 ‑ 2009.

This version of New York City's Consolidated Plan is part of the City's activities to fulfill federal Consolidated Plan citizen participation regulations regarding availability of the Plan to the public which require localities to provide the public with reasonable access and opportunity to examine the document.

The 2009 Consolidated Plan has been amended to contain changes made to the CDBG entitlement program activities.
In addition, the 2009 Consolidated Plan has also incorporated minor amendments to the HOME-, ESG-, and HOPWA-funded activities to reflect the formula entitlement grant monies actually received by New York City for each of the respective grant programs, and programmatic changes as the result of the New York City Fiscal Year 2010 (CFY10) budget which began on July 1, 2009.
The public comment period on the substantially amended CDBG-funded entitlement program activities began August 25, 2009 and ends September 23, 2009. Comments received by the end of the comment period (close of business September 23, 2009) regarding the use of these federal funds will be summarized and Agencies' responses incorporated into this document for submission to HUD.
