Public invited to comment on draft housing and community development plans April 23
Snohomish County will host a virtual public meeting on April 23 to invite community feedback on its draft housing and community development plans. This initiative, led by the Snohomish County Consortia alongside local cities, focuses on distributing federal funds from programs such as CDBG, HOME, and ESG. The draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy to address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income residents. It includes an executive summary, needs assessment, and strategic goals for fund allocation over the next five years. Additionally, the 2025 Annual Action Plan details specific activities and funding for the upcoming program year.
Community participation is encouraged, with written comments accepted until May 8, emphasizing the role of residents in local decision-making. The plans reflect a commitment to enhancing affordable housing and community services in Snohomish County. For more details, residents can access the draft plans on the county's website.
