Baltimore 2026-2030 Consolidated Plan - Draft Review and Public Hearing

The Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS) will conduct an on-line public hearing on Monday, July 14, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public an opportunity to discuss and comment on the draft Consolidated Plan for City Fiscal Year (CFY) 2026-2030 and the Annual Action Plan for CFY 2026 which is linked below. To participate in the public hearing on-line, please register for the meeting at  https://bit.ly/CDBGPublicHearing.

The draft Consolidated Plan specifies the strategic goals and projects on which federal resources will be focused during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and estimates for the funds we expect will be available for the next five years. Projects in this draft Plan support the strategies developed through the public input, consultation, and development stages of the planning process. They include efforts outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the draft Citywide Housing Plan, sub-topic plans produced by the Planning Department and other agencies, and the Vacant Reduction Priority Strategies developed by the City, State, and community partners.  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).

The chart below identifies the amount of funding allocated to the City of Baltimore by HUD for each of its four (4) formula grants for FFY2025/CFY 2026.

The public is encouraged to review and submit comments on the draft Consolidated Plan for City Fiscal Year (CFY) 2026-2030 and the Annual Action Plan for CFY 2026. The draft Consolidated Plan and the Summary of Activities for CFY 2026 (CD-51) are viewable and downloadable below:
