The Action Plan utilizes some of the funding to support the delivery of social services and homeless activities. These activities are targeted to low-income persons and include, but are not limited to, home delivered meals for the elderly, health services, job training and placement for disabled individuals, and emergency shelter for the homeless.
To implement the projects in the HUD approved 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, Project Administration Agreements must be executed with the public service agencies.
