Let's hear your priorities for community development!
The City of Seattle is applying for approximately $18 million from the U.S. Government that could be used to repair, renovate, or construct homes, buildings, playgrounds, and parks. The money could also be used to pay for public services like shelters, home rental assistance, childcare, medical care, and senior programs. Tell us how you would spend federal funds targeted toward community development, and what you think of the City's proposed plan to use 2026 funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The public comment period for the draft 2026 Annual Action Plan is open from October 30, 2025 through December 30, 2025. Two ways to provide feedback:

The City is preparing its 2026 Annual Action Plan, which guides how we invest HUD Federal funds to address priority needs identified in Seattle's 2024–2028 Consolidated Plan. The City applies to HUD annually for four fund sources: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG); and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). Historically, the City has allocated these funds toward a wide range of programs and services that benefit low-income and homeless individuals in the City.
