2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
The City is beginning to develop its 5-year “Consolidated Plan,” a document that will guide investment of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants from 2025 to 2029. We rely on members of the public and local experts and organizations to guide the priorities and strategies that make up this plan.
These grant funds are intended to primarily support low and moderate income residents of the City of Columbus. Participation in the planning process allows residents of Columbus to contribute to the prioritization of projects and geographic areas that will receive these grant funds.
First Public Meeting
The first public meeting will take place on February 21st at 3:00 PM at the Jerry Hammond Center located at 1111 East Broad Street. Free parking is available behind the building, in the lot across Madison Ave. Accommodations for disabled or non-English speaking residents will be made available upon advance request to [email protected].
Public Input Survey
Whether or not you plan to attend the public meeting on February 21, please fill out this survey to share your thoughts and prioritize the goals of the plan.
