During the preparation of the Con Plan, the Consultant will: - Meet with the relevant public, private and nonprofit groups and agencies. It is estimated that approximately 12-15 interviews will be required in order to cover all the groups and agencies that are relevant. Currently there are approximately 30 separate agencies represented on the City's CDBG data contacts list. The City will assist the Consultant with contacting those groups which provide like services together in one group meeting. For example, by attending a regularly scheduled meeting of the Continuum of Care for the Homeless, the Consultant will be able to address most of the agencies in our area which deal with the needs of the homeless population at one time; - Conduct a Housing and Community Development Needs Survey, and compile, analyze and interpret the resulting data; - Conduct Community Resident/Stakeholder Workshops to further identify, refine and prioritize the City's housing and community development needs.
