Hearings and Public Comment

COMMENTS OPEN ON ONE YEAR SPENDING PLAN FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDS

The Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) is hosting hearings and taking comments from residents and other interested parties on what should be included in a new one-year plan for an estimated $27.5 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funds may be invested in housing, homeless assistance and community development programs that serve low- to moderate-income residents over a one year period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The Plan covers four HUD programs:       

1. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
2. HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
3. Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG)
4. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)

Registration is NOT required to participate. Interpretation for the hearings is offered in Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

To arrange for interpretation in other languages, including ASL, email mohcomments@boston.gov or call 617-635-0363 at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing date. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request.

There will be four hearings for the public to make comments on a new spending plan for the HUD funds.
