Community Planning and Development
 The mission of the City of Savannah’s Community Planning & Development (CPD) department is to improve disadvantaged neighborhoods and fund public services and programs through grants management, consolidated and neighborhood planning. This includes funding for affordable housing and economic development activities for low and moderate income persons. Our department also coordinates improvement programs and supports the revitalization of inner-city commercial corridors.
CPD collaborates with citizens to develop the Consolidated Housing and Community Development (HCD) Plan, which is adopted by City Council as the blueprint for community revitalization. CPD also works with target neighborhoods to develop neighborhood revitalization and redevelopment plans which address livability issues: land use; housing; economic development; youth development, infrastructure, capacity building; cultural, recreational and historic resources; and public safety. CPD provides planning assistance to all City bureaus and departments, and allied agencies on a regular basis, including Housing Authority of Savannah, the Metropolitan Planning Commission, the Homeless Authority, and Youth Futures Authority.
