Community Development Plans & Reports
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires regular reporting on program plans and goals. These reports must address specific questions from HUD, and demonstrate that goals for the program (both short- and long-term) have been identified and met. The City of South Portland has received CDBG funds through the Cumberland County program since 2007. The City develops its own plans, which are then incorporated into the County’s required submissions to HUD.

HUD Annual Action Plan
South Portland submits its Annual Action Plan, which is approved by the City Council, to the County in early May. Cumberland County submits its Annual Action Plan to HUD by May 15th. This Plan is reviewed and approved by the County Commissioners before submission to HUD. HUD must ultimately approve the County’s Annual Action Plan before it can be implemented.
