The City of Santa Fe’s Office of Affordable Housing invites community members to participate in a survey to provide input for the 2023 Consolidated Plan for housing in Santa Fe. The survey, available in English and Spanish, is open through 5 p.m. on Friday, March 24, and be found at the following links:
Every year, the City of Santa Fe receives funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Programs supported through these funds provide much-needed affordable rental units, direct subsidy for homebuyers and homeowners, public facility improvements, and public services. The Housing Resident Survey is designed to receive input on the housing and community needs that should be prioritized for the HUD funding. The survey results will then be used to inform and create a new 5-year Consolidated Plan identifying housing and community needs, priorities, goals, and strategies, as well as how federal, state, and local funds will be allocated to housing and community development activities.
The City is required to submit the Consolidated Plan to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development every 5 years as a condition of receiving its annual Community Development Block Grant funding. The last Consolidated Plan was created in 2018.
Once the 2023 Plan is completed, it will be available for public comment from April 10 through May 10.
