Council receives draft consolidated plan and 2025‑26 action plan for HUD funds (CDBG, HOME, ESG)
Summary
The council opened and closed a public hearing on the city’s draft five‑year consolidated plan and the FY2025‑26 Annual Action Plan for federal HUD grants — CDBG, HOME and ESG — and accepted staff’s recommendation to return June 18 with the finalized draft after public input.
City housing staff briefed the council on the draft five‑year consolidated plan (07/01/2025–06/30/2030) and the FY2025‑26 Annual Action Plan for HUD formula funds, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The public hearing opened at 5:40 p.m. and closed after staff presentation and no public speakers for that item.
Staff overview: Housing Division Manager Trina Perez explained the consolidated plan is a HUD‑required strategic framework for allocating federal funds across housing, homelessness and community development. The city’s anticipated FY2025 allocations presented to the council were approximately $2.7 million for CDBG, $1.1 million for HOME, and $241,000 for ESG. Staff described the plan process (surveys, stakeholder meetings, AI analysis of impediments to fair housing) and said staff would return to council on June 18 with the finalized draft action plan after incorporating public input.
Why it matters: HUD funds are a primary source for local programs addressing homelessness, affordable housing, infrastructure for low‑ and moderate‑income neighborhoods and related services. The consolidated plan sets priorities and guides annual allocations, and the Annual Action Plan specifies program allocations for the coming fiscal year.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the draft plan, incorporate public input, and bring the plan back for formal council consideration and submission to HUD. The city also reviewed an “analysis of impediments to fair housing” (AI) as a required planning element.
