Williamson County received one offer to provide consulting services to develop the 2019-2023 HUD Consolidated Plan and the 2019-2020 Annual Action.  The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions.  The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. The evaluation team’s recommendation:  Mullin & Lonergan Associates specialize in the creation of ideas and the process that transforms those ideas into exciting projects. They are known for the development of data-driven, statistical analyses and have the experience to translate the results into practical recommendations and plans. This expenditure will be charged to the HUD Community Development Block Grant and is authorized at a lump sum amount of $34,400.
