City releases draft 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, starts public comment and community outreach
Summary
Staff released Stockton’s draft 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and began a 30–32 day public comment period; the plan prioritizes affordable housing, homelessness reduction, resilient infrastructure, healthy communities and economic opportunity and is due to HUD in May 2025.
City staff presented the draft Consolidated Plan for 2025–2029 at the March 17 study session and outlined an outreach-driven process that produced more than 600 unique survey responses and several community meetings.
Jordan Peterson, deputy director of redevelopment, said the draft plan—titled 'Your Voice, Our Future'—built priorities and goals from a multi-pronged public process that included a paper and digital survey, seven in‑district community meetings, focus groups and stakeholder sessions. Peterson said staff and the consultant (Grow America) held tabling events and district meetings to gather input.
The plan’s top priorities, Peterson said, are increasing and preserving affordable housing, reducing homelessness, strengthening resilient infrastructure and public facilities, supporting public services and small businesses, and expanding access to economic opportunity. Peterson described draft goals such as developing and rehabilitating affordable housing units, funding services to prevent homelessness, and a CDBG-eligible emphasis on infrastructure improvements (crosswalks, sidewalks, curb and gutter) in underserved areas.
Peterson also set out the schedule: the draft and associated documents were released for a 30–32 day public comment period when staff posted the materials; staff plan a Community Development Committee public hearing on March 26 at City Council Chambers and a City Council presentation on April 15. Peterson said the final consolidated plan must be submitted to HUD in May 2025.
Staff encouraged council members to help promote outreach in their districts and said some community meeting notes and scribed feedback exist (not yet published in a formal report) and can be shared with council members. The session concluded with council members asking that staff coordinate district communications and social assets for promotion and to make the summarized community feedback available for council review.
