The County of Riverside has initiated the preparation of the County’s next Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
The County of Riverside has initiated the preparation of the County’s next Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The 2024-2029 Consolidated Plan is designed to assist the County, its cooperating cities, residents, and service providers to assess affordable housing and community development needs and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions.
The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the HUD’s CPD formula block grant programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program.
The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan.
The 2024-2025 Action Plan will be the first Action Plan of the 2024-2029 Consolidated Plan. Grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
A primary component of the Consolidated Plan process is a comprehensive community needs assessment survey. All interested persons, organizations, and agencies are encouraged to complete the online 2024-2029 Consolidated Plan Survey. The survey is available in English or Spanish and can be accessed at:
