The Phoenix City Council approved the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, authorizing their submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The plan outlines strategies to address housing and community development needs over the next five years, allocating a total of $26,371,202.14 for the first year. These funds are distributed across four HUD programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) ($14,389,727), HOME Investment Partnerships ($5,123,745.14), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) ($1,271,028), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) ($5,586,702). The plan aims to develop and preserve affordable housing, provide public services for low- and moderate-income populations, improve public facilities and infrastructure, promote economic development, remove slum and blight, and offer housing and services for the homeless and persons with HIV/AIDS. Public outreach, including community sessions and surveys, informed the plan's goals.
