City hosts public hearings to seek input on how to allocate federal funding to help low and moderate income residents

The City of Colorado Springs Housing and Homelessness Response Department invites residents, advocates and stakeholders to participate in free public meetings 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).

The Consolidated Plan, completed every five years, provides a framework to assess the community's affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven decisions on how to invest the City's resources to serve the needs of low- and moderate-income residents of Colorado Springs. The Annual Action Plan provides a summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used during the program year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan.

The public meetings will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 6 to 7 p.m., and repeated on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 1 to 2 p.m. Both meeting will be held at the City Administration Building, room 102 (30 S. Nevada Ave.) or participants can join online.

Funds from HUD support affordable housing, homelessness prevention, economic development, nonprofit assistance and neighborhood and public 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.

More information and how to participate in the public meetings can be found at ColoradoSprings.gov/2025AnnualActionPlan.
