City Seeking Public Input on Community Needs for CDBG Consolidated Plan

The City of Dubuque Housing and Community Development Department is seeking public input on areas of need in the community, particularly in the areas of housing, economic opportunity, and community development.

Annually, the City receives approximately $1.3 million in Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist persons of low- and moderate-income; support housing, economic development, neighborhoods, and public services; and meet urgent needs.

Every five years, HUD requires communities that receive CDBG funds to complete a Consolidated Plan, which sets goals and priorities for the funds. The public is invited to participate by completing a short online survey at www.cityofdubuque.org/cdbgsurvey or by calling 563-690-6094.

The feedback collected will be used by City staff to draft the Consolidated Plan which will determine how CDBG funding is allocated over the next five years. In early 2025, the public will be invited to learn more and offer feedback on the draft plan.

To learn more about CDBG funds and how they impact the community, visit www.cityofdubuque.org/cdbg.
