The Salt Lake City Housing and Neighborhood Development Division invites residents to participate in a "General Needs Hearing" to comment on overall housing and community development needs for low- and moderate-income residents.

It is scheduled for Monday at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 451 S. State, Room 118.

Each year, Salt Lake City receives federal funding for the following programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).

In the past, over $3 million has been allocated by Salt Lake City to address community needs, such as community centers, economic development, housing improvements, neighborhood improvements, parks, public services and streets.

Residents who are unable to attend can submit written comments to Jennifer Schumann, Housing and Neighborhood Development, 451 S. State St., P.O. Box 145488, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84114; or emailed to jennifer.schumann@slcgov.com.

Comments must be received by 5 p.m. on Dec. 12 and should be limited to the general needs of residents.

Future opportunities will be provided to state organizations' specific needs.
