The City of Fargo is gathering public input as part of the citizen participation process for preparing its 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan is the City’s five-year strategic plan to prioritize federal funding, received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for the City’s HUD-funded programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. The primary purpose of these funds is to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals and households. The 2025 Annual Action Plan will outline how the City will allocate the 2025 annual allocations for CDBG and HOME, and prioritize which activities will be funded.
As part of the citizen participation process, The City of Fargo will hold a public input meeting to gather input on how Fargo should prioritize housing stability, housing preservation, services for individuals with extremely low incomes, and public infrastructure and facilities improvements in low- and moderate-income area neighborhoods.
