2024-2028 Community Needs Assessment (Consolidated Plan)

WHAT ARE THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

The City of Santa Clarita receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are intended to primarily benefit the lower-income residents in the community. The funding can be used for housing, infrastructure, homeless services, supportive human services, and economic development.

The City wants your input as we prioritize the potential uses for this funding for our 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan, which is a five-year plan designed to identify community needs. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you for your participation!
