Pasco is an entitlement community and is qualified to receive a direct entitlement of Block Grant funds. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards annual entitlement grants only after the City has submitted an acceptable Consolidated Plan which is approved by HUD. The 5 year plan is supplemented each program year with an annual action plan to allocate funds. The City then submits a consolidated annual plan evaluation report (CAPER) to detail its accomplishments.
