The County’s Housing and Community Development Services wants residents and community partners to share their ideas. They want your thoughts on housing, public services, and community improvements in neighborhoods.

Every year, the County gets federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This funding helps make housing more affordable. It also supports key public services and builds or improves community facilities. This way, neighborhoods can grow and thrive.

The County is creating an Annual Plan Strategy to plan how it will use this funding in the 2027–2028 year. The community will guide this plan. Your feedback will help the County understand local needs. It will also set priorities and decide which projects to fund.

What is this project?

  • The County is making a plan. This plan will guide how federal funds are spent on housing, public services, and community improvements.

Why is the County engaging the community?
