Jacob Castillo, Chief Sustainability Officer
From: Beth Rosen, Grants Compliance Manager
Dianne Tjalkens, Grants Program Administrator
Subject: 2025-2029 HUD Consolidated Plan Council Questionnaire
BOTTOM LINE
The purpose of this memorandum is to follow up, as promised during the June 11 Staff Report,
to provide the link for each Councilmember to respond with their input for the Consolidated Plan.
Please complete a brief questionnaire to provide your input on how federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds should be
used over the next 5-year planning period (Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029).
BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Collins is an Entitlement Community, meaning we receive federal CDBG
and HOME grants each year on a formula basis. Over the next five years the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is expected to invest nearly $8.5
million dollars into Fort Collins through these funds. Grant dollars can be used for
affordable housing, homelessness, supportive services, economic development, and
community development to benefit low-income residents and neighborhoods.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to gain initial input into the Consolidated Plan, the 5-
year strategic planning document required by HUD for the use of these funds. Answers
to these questions, along with data collection and community engagement, will help
guide development of the goals of the Consolidated Plan. Information about each
funding source is included in the questionnaire.
The final Consolidated Plan must be approved by Council and is due to HUD August
2025.
