Plans and Reports

Every year, we submit an Action Plan to HUD. The plan covers how we will invest federal funds to address the needs and priorities identified in our 5-Year Consolidated Plan.

The Federal CARES Act provides substantial funding to the City of Boston for responding to, and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to spend the funds that HUD provides to the City from the CARES Act, we must complete a "Substantial Amendment" to our 2019 HUD Action Plan. We have completed such amendments for $20,039,341 in CDBG funds, $449,562 in Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funds, and $28,819,809 in Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funds.

DOCUMENTS:

To apply for federal grants, we create a Plan for the City's development needs over five years. HUD reviewed and approved the plan in February 2024.
