What is a Consolidated Plan?

A Consolidated Plan (Plan) is a planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a condition of receiving federal housing and community development funding. The Plan is developed every 5 years through research, data collection and community outreach.

The planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to determine the top housing needs, community development priorities, homeless services, and gaps in supportive services for low- and moderate-income residents.

Over the next few months, Mesa residents, non-profit organizations, businesses, and other community stakeholders will be encouraged to share their insights and feedback through virtual and in-person community forums, and a community-wide survey.
