The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive planning document that identifies the housing and community development needs of the City of Alexandria's extremely low-to moderate-income, homeless and special needs populations, as well as of any target areas identified by the City, and outlines strategies for addressing the needs of these groups and/or designated areas over a five-year period. The One-Year Action Plan describes actions to be taken during City FY 2027 to meet housing and community development needs identified in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan and serves as the City's application to HUD for an estimated $1.07 million in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $614,000 in Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds, subject to federal appropriations.
