The Community Development and Housing Department (CDH) has opened the public comment period for the Proposed Program Year (PY) 2024-25 United States Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) Annual Action Plan, which is more commonly known as the Annual Action Plan. This 30-day public comment period will conclude with a formal Public Hearing on April 23rd (Board of Supervisors Hearing). In keeping with the County’s Citizens Participation Plan, the Draft Annual Action Plan is available for comment on the CDH website, and a notice of hearing has been published in multiple local newspapers.

The Annual Action Plan outlines San Bernardino County’s allocation strategy for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) federal grants aimed at affordable housing, community and economic development, and homelessness prevention. In compliance with HUD regulations and the County’s Citizens Participation Plan, this public hearing is a key step in gathering community feedback on the Annual Action Plan and proposed projects. All comments collected will be integrated into the final PY 2024-25 HUD Annual Action Plan, which is scheduled for the Board of Supervisors’ approval on May 7, 2024.
