About the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan

 

The 2023-2027 ConPlan presents a summary of housing and community development needs of low to moderate income households in Fort Worth, and identifies the priority needs that the City proposes to address with HUD grant funds over the next five years.  

The ConPlan also states the City’s goals for addressing the identified priority needs.  These goals must align with HUD’’s goals for providing Decent Housing, a Suitable Living Environment, and Expanded Economic Opportunities for low-income persons.  Each annual Action Plan during the five-year period from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2028, must address these priority needs and goals.
