Development Services

The City of Long Beach is an entitlement city that receives Community Development Planning (CDP) grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create viable communities with decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. Funding is provided through three grant programs as listed below:

• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): funds community development activities, including economic development, community services, residential and commercial façade improvements, public infrastructure improvements and more. 
• Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG): funds programs that provide shelter and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness
• HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME): funds the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of major affordable housing projects in order to create and preserve affordable housing.

Five-Year Consolidated Plan
In order to receive HUD grants, the City must develop a five-year Consolidated Plan (Plan). The Plan assesses community development and housing needs and identifies the programs and services that are prioritized and funded by HUD grants, including affordable housing, neighborhood improvement activities, public infrastructure improvements, code enforcement and programs for small businesses.

Annual Action Plan
The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan.
