JEFFERSON CITY – The State of Missouri will hold formal public hearings across the state to allow for public input on the Fiscal Year 2025 HUD Action Plan.
Each year, the State is required to develop an action plan that outlines how each program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered by the State will operate over the next year. DED is the lead agency responsible for developing this action plan.
The State currently operates five HUD-funded programs across three departments and agencies that are subject to the action planning process:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), administered by the Missouri Department of Economic Development
- HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), administered by the Missouri Housing Development Commission
- National Housing Trust Fund (HTF), administered by the Missouri Housing Development Commission
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), administered by the Missouri Housing Development Commission
- Housing of Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services
An action plan primarily addresses the following topics for each program:
- The amount of resources available in each program for the year
- The goals and objectives of each program
- The types of projects and activities that may be funded
- The types of applicants that may receive funding
- The manner of being awarded funding
- Other program-specific requirements
Drafts of the State of Missouri’s FY25 Action Plan and the Citizen Participation Plan will be made available on or before March 24, 2025, at ded.mo.gov/cdbg for public comment. The State will hold six public hearings across the state while the 30-day public comment period is open. Each meeting will share the same content. The public comment period will end at 5 p.m. on April 24, 2025.
To submit formal comment, please contact DED’s CDBG program at mocdbg@ded.mo.gov or at 573-751-3600.
