The Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS) conducted a virtual public hearing on Tuesday June 18, 2024, to provide the public an opportunity to discuss and comment on the draft Annual Action Plan for city fiscal year (CFY) 2025 which was released on June 10, 2024. 

The draft Annual Action Plan serves as the application for funding received through four federal formula grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Person With AIDS (HOPWA).  Activities contained in this draft Plan support the strategies outlined in the City’s five-year July 2020 – June 2025 Consolidated Plan.  The draft Plan specifies the activities on which federal resources will be spent during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024.

The chart below identifies the amount of funding by program allocated to the City of Baltimore by HUD for CFY 2025.       

The draft Annual Action Plan is available HERE. The public is encouraged to review and submit comments on the Plan. The deadline for public comments is 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, 2024.  The final Plan, incorporating comments, will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development following the end of the comment period.
