Every five years, the City develops a Five-Year Consolidated Plan as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan establishes a strategy for how the City will invest federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program  funds to meet Westminster's ongoing affordable housing, community development, economic development, and public service needs over the next five years.

FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & FY 2025/2026 Annual Action Plan

Annually, the City of Westminster reports to HUD how it plans to spend Federal CDBG and HOME funds in its Annual Action Plan to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. Each Annual Action Plan covers a single program year beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
