The Consolidated Plan is designed to help a participating jurisdiction (PJ) like the City of Parkersburg to assess its affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from Housing and Urban Development block grant programs like Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program.
The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the City of Parkersburg Consolidated Plan.
The City of Parkersburg reports annually on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The City of Parkersburg’s Development Department annually accepts applications for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Programs. These Federally-funded programs are used by the City of Parkersburg, and throughout Wood County to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and the expansion of economic opportunities primarily for families and individuals with low and moderate incomes.

The ConPlan regulations (24 CFR 91) require each state and local government to submit a certification that it is affirmatively furthering Fair Housing. This means it will: 1) conduct an analysis of impediments to Fair Housing choice; 2) take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of impediments identified through that analysis, and 3) maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions. Furthermore, HUD is committed to eliminating racial and ethnic segregation, illegal physical and other barriers to persons with disabilities, and other discriminatory practices in housing.
