OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A public hearing has been scheduled next month to explore affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions in the Tulsa area.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's community development committee in Tulsa plans to receive comments from the public on April 8.

The city's draft 2015-2019 consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the HUD grant programs.

The programs include the Community Development Block Grant program, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant program and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS program.

The intent of the plan is to provide guidelines citizens may follow in order to play a role in the community development planning process.
