The Consolidated Plan was created by HUD in 1993 and 1994, becoming official when final regulations were published in the Federal Register on January 5, 1995 (Vol. 60, No.3). The base of a jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan is a long-term Strategic Plan, but each year a jurisdiction must complete an Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan gives very specific information about how the jurisdiction will use its CPD funds to work toward reaching the goals it set for itself in the long-term Strategic Plan. The Annual Action Plan is due at HUD 45 days before the beginning of the jurisdiction's program year. HUD has 45 days to approve the Consolidated Plan.

Consolidated Plan regulations are codified at 24 CFR part 91.
