HUD Required Plans and Reports
Plans and ReportsEvery year, we submit an Action Plan to HUD. The plan covers how we will invest federal funds to address the needs and priorities identified in our 5-Year Consolidated Plan.
The Federal CARES Act provides substantial funding to the City of Boston for responding to, and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to spend the funds that HUD provides to the City from the CARES Act, we must complete a "Substantial Amendment" to our 2019 HUD Action Plan. We have completed such amendments for $20,039,341 in CDBG funds, $449,562 in Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funds, and $28,819,809 in Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funds.
DOCUMENTS:To apply for federal grants, we create a Plan for the City's development needs over five years. HUD reviewed and approved the plan in February 2024.
We create a report at the end of each program year that describes what we've been able to accomplish with federal funding. We provide this report to the public, and to HUD.
