~ As the City of Colorado Springs prepares for the next five years, they are seeking input from the public on how to allocate grant funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grants will be used to support various initiatives such as affordable housing, homelessness prevention, nonprofit assistance, and neighborhood infrastructure improvements for low- and moderate-income residents within the community.

The draft plan, which covers strategies, projects, and activities from 2025 to 2029, utilizes federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The city is encouraging residents to review the plan and provide feedback during the comment period, which will be open until January 27th.
