The City of Walnut Creek, as a partner in the Contra Costa Consortium (Contra Costa Urban County along with four of the largest cities, including Walnut Creek) is beginning to develop the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan for the use of federal funds for housing and general services. These funds include Community Development Block Grants, HOME Investment Partnership Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant. Over the five-year period, $60 million in funding administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development could be spent for a wide variety of uses, including: -building new affordable rental housing -providing first-time homebuyer assistance -rehabilitating existing housing for lower income and senior households -building new supportive housing for people with special needs -improving or constructing public facilities, including community centers and parks -improving infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, etc.) in lower income neighborhoods -providing employment training and training to small business owners -providing a wide variety of services for lower income families and individuals, including unhoused people -As part of this effort, residents are invited to fill out surveys. There are two surveys - one focuses on housing and homelessness, and the second focuses on general services for low-income individuals & public facilities and infrastructure.
