Please join the Human Services Department (HSD) at our next public hearing on the City’s use of HUD federal funds. 

On Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, City staff and representatives from our non-profit agency partners will celebrate the successful programs, services, and projects the City is funding with HUD federal dollars in 2026. We will also share plans for allocating these valuable funds in 2027. Historically, the City has used this money to support a wide range of programs and services that primarily benefit low-income individuals and people experiencing homelessness to address priority needs the community identified in our 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan. 

To continue this critical work, the City is applying for approximately $18 million in 2027 funding from four HUD programs: 

  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
  • HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
  • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
  • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)

FamilyWorks Executive Director Marcia Wright-Soika greets guests at the agency’s Grand Re-Opening celebration on April 4, 2026. HSD awarded FamilyWorks $1M in CDBG program funding for capital facility improvements to their foodbank. 

Members of the public will be invited to comment on the planned allocations. For disability accommodations or accessibility information, or to RSVP, please email Angelina.Shell@seattle.gov. RSVP not required to attend.

We welcome your comments anytime on our public survey, which will be open through Dec. 31, 2026.
