INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY
Every year, the City of Boise receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to address a wide range of community development needs, such as community improvement projects and projects that focus on low-to-moderate income households.
To continue receiving funding from HUD, we are required to develop a Consolidated Plan every 5 years. Our goal is to involve as many community members as possible in this process, to ensure that the plan reflects the needs of our community.
There will be multiple opportunities for people to engage throughout this process, the first of which is an online survey. Could you please share this information with your associations members and through your email lists and social media sites?
This survey will be open until Feb. 21 and is available in English and in Spanish. Translation and interpretation services will be available upon request.
