What: the city's FY2026-27 HUD Annual Action Plan for CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds.
Where it stands: approved by the Board of Alders on 2026-10-19 after an amendment by substitution.
Next: submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Details
This is year two of the 2025 to 2029 five-year consolidated plan.
Federal metropolitan area definitions for Connecticut now follow planning regions, so the HOPWA eligible service area is the South Central Connecticut region (Bethany, Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Madison, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven, Woodbridge and others). Waterbury is no longer eligible, so two Waterbury agencies are no longer funded by the city; the state Department of Housing is covering them for the year, and the freed funds were reallocated evenly to the remaining HOPWA agencies.
