Development of Washington's Consolidated Plan underway 

Public hearings set for Dec. 17

Commerce is soliciting feedback from the public on the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan that will guide distribution of millions of federal housing resources over the next four years. The state's Consolidated Plan benefits low-income households and locations, identifies housing and community development needs, and sets the priorities and strategies to meet those needs.

The first set of two public hearings will take place Dec. 17 and provide an opportunity to inform development of this plan, including goals and priorities. The second public hearing will be in spring 2025 and will serve as an opportunity to review the draft plan.

*Background*

The Washington Consolidated Plan serves as the state’s application for federal funds from five programs administered by Commerce:


* *Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)*: Delivers flexible funds to city and county governments to support low and moderate income persons
* *HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)*: Invests in affordable housing projects (new construction and preservation) statewide for very low-income households
* *National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF)*: Invests in affordable housing projects (new construction and preservation) statewide for extremely low-income households
* *Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)*: Funds counties to support homeless crisis response systems, including shelters, rental assistance, and street outreach
* *Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)*: Supports low-income persons and their families living with HIV/AIDS
