5 Year Consolidated Plan 2024-2028

Each year the City of Somerville receives federal funds for housing and community development activities through the CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant programs. To receive these funds, the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years, gathering information from many sources to identify Somerville’s needs that can be addressed with this funding. Annual Action Plans identify how funds will be spent each year according to the goals and strategies established in the Consolidated Plan.

Following the gathering of community input, the City will prepare a draft plan that describes Somerville’s housing and community development needs and establishes funding priorities and goals or targets for the use of federal funds that the City expects to receive over the next five years. The draft plan will be made available for a 30-day public comment period, during which a public hearing will be held.
