Public Comment on 2026 Action Plan

The City is seeking public comment on the Draft 2026 Action Plan from today, Friday, November 14, through Tuesday, December 16.

The draft plan identifies and prioritizes housing and community development needs and strategies, with a primary focus on supporting low- and moderate-income residents. The plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of the funding process for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs.

The goals of the plan are to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income residents. The Draft 2026 Action Plan outlines how the City will use grant funds from HUD in 2026.
