The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $500,000 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant to the City of Poughkeepsie, NY on September 7, 2024. The purpose of this Project Grant is for the City to develop a comprehensive Neighborhood Transformation Plan that will guide the redevelopment of HUD-assisted housing properties, improve the surrounding neighborhood, and provide supportive services for residents.
To create the Transformation Plan, the City must conduct community outreach, resident needs assessments, analyses of neighborhood challenges and opportunities, and environmental reviews. The plan will include strategies for resident relocation, selection of a housing developer, and integration of feedback from HUD-assisted residents, the broader community, and other stakeholders. This award supports the planning and community engagement activities, but does not provide funding for actual implementation of the Transformation Plan.
