Dubuque residents can offer input on how the city should use its Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) before they finalize a Consolidated Plan in early 2025 for the next five years.
According to a press release, the city of Dubuque usually receives an annual amount of $1.3 million in CDBG funds. These funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help low-income and moderate-income residents with housing, economic development in neighborhoods and public services.
HUD requires municipalities receiving the grants to produce a Consolidated Plan every five years with stated goals and priorities for the funds.
Residents can visit www.cityofdubuque.org/cdbgsurvey or call 563-690-6094.
The city will return with a draft plan for public input early next year.
