State of Iowa Stakeholder Survey for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and Fair Housing Plan
The State of Iowa is preparing its Five-Year Consolidated Plan for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The state receives millions of dollars each year from the federal government to invest in low- and moderate- income (LMI) communities.
Part of the Consolidated Planning process requires outreach to municipal leaders, officials, and key stakeholders to get input on housing and community development needs and conditions and to provide input in HUD-funded activities for the next five years. The Consolidated Plan will serve as a blueprint for the expenditures of federal funds in the state from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029.
Your response is vital to provide important input into the development of the Consolidated Plan to set the federal funding framework for the state over the next five years.
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a state-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Planning and Development formula block grant programs:
- CDBG: Community Development Block Grant Program
- HOME: HOME Investment Partnerships Program
- ESG: Emergency Solutions Grant Program
- CDBG-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program
- HTF: National Housing Trust Fund
- HOPWA: Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program
Please take the survey by September 26, 2024 and let us know what you think. Your feedback is important to us and will help us better allocate funds to address the most critical needs within our communities.
Thank you for your time!
