Welcome to the Office of Planning and Development

Office of Planning and Development
For the past seven years, the Office of Planning & Development (OPD) has functioned to insure coordination among various LHAND departments in a number of areas.

During the past year, OPD focused on overseeing the development and implementation of LHAND’s neighborhood revitalization strategies, including the creation of affordable housing through the Infill Housing Program; coordinated the city’s Continuum of Care homeless initiative; coordinated grant writing efforts; and, oversaw activities of the Neighborhood Services Office.

OPD also worked with the city’s Office of Economic and Community Development (OECD) on the preparation of the city’s 5-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Additionally, the Grants Manager oversees daily operations of the Lynn Community Connections Coalition (LCCC) Program.

OPD was also involved with the preparation of LHAND’s Public Housing Agency (PHA) Five-Year and yearly Annual Housing Plans.
