Project Background

Help the City prioritize how to invest grant funds for housing and homelessness response.

The City of Colorado Springs Housing and Homelessness Response Department invites residents, advocates and stakeholders to share their experiences and views to inform the City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan for the use of federal block grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and to inform the Fair Housing Plan.

Funds support affordable housing, homelessness prevention, small businesses, nonprofit assistance and neighborhood facilities and infrastructure improvements for low- and moderate-income residents. 

Grant fund sources are the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program.

Residents are also invited to comment on the updated Citizen Participation Plan that sets forth the City’s policies and procedures by which it encourages local citizens to participate and comment on various housing and community development activities funded through federally funded programs.
