2025-2030 Consolidated Plan

The Contra Costa Consortium is beginning to develop the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) for the use of CDBG, HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds within a 5 year time-frame.

Over the five-year period, $60 million in funding could be spent for a wide variety of uses, including:

  • building new affordable rental housing
  • providing first-time home-buyer assistance
  • rehabilitating existing housing for lower income and senior households
  • building new supportive housing for people with special needs
  • improving or constructing public facilities, including community centers and parks
  • improving infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, etc.) in lower income neighborhoods
  • providing employment training and training to small business owners
  • providing a wide variety of services for lower income families and individuals, and homeless person, and so much more

The preparation of the FY 2025-2030 ConPlan begins with the distribution of a needs assessment to gauge how the community desires the funding be spent. The Consortium is holding public community meetings and service provider meetings during the months of March through July 2024. Individuals and representatives of various public agencies, community organizations, and service providers throughout the County are invited to attend these meetings.

The City of Walnut Creek is hosting specific focus groups to gather input and inform the ConPlan. These slides are shared at each meeting. 

The City is also soliciting input from community organizations, public agencies, and the general public through these online surveys from Tuesday, February 20, 2024 through July 31, 2024.
