Charleston Council adopts five-year HUD consolidated plan and 2025 action plan
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-070 authorizing submission of the five-year consolidated plan (2025–2029) and the FY2025 annual action plan to HUD after a public process that included two public meetings and a 30-day comment period beginning July 2, 2025.
Charleston City Council adopted Resolution 25-070 on Aug. 4, 2025, authorizing the mayor to sign and submit the city’s five-year consolidated plan (program years 2025–2029) and the FY2025 annual action plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Council member Burton told the chamber the consolidated plan is a five-year strategic plan to address housing and community development needs. Burton said the city’s MOECD contracted with Urban Design Ventures to convene local leaders and stakeholders, and that the city held two public meetings and ran a 30-day public comment period that began July 2, 2025. "The plan meets or exceeds standards set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development," Burton said, and the finance committee recommended approval.
The council adopted the resolution by voice vote. The transcript does not include details of specific projects or dollar allocations beyond noting the plan and annual action plan were filed for FY2025–2029 with HUD.
Next steps: the mayor is authorized to sign and submit the consolidated plan and the city will proceed with HUD-required actions tied to the approved plan and annual action plan.
