County of Orange FY 2025-29 Housing and Community Development Five Year Consolidated Plan Outreach

Housing & Community Development is creating the FY 2025-29 Five Year Consolidated Plan, which is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in order to receive the Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funding from HUD.  These funds are used each year for housing and community development projects in the following jurisdictions: County unincorporated areas, Laguna Beach, Placentia, Laguna Hills, Seal Beach, Brea, Laguna Woods, Stanton, Cypress, La Palma, Yorba Linda, San Juan Capistrano, Villa Park, Dana Point, and Los Alamitos. 

One of the main elements to the plan is getting community input on the different priorities in each community and identifying high priorities in low-income areas for improvements and public services.  If you live in one of these cities or a County unincorporated area, please complete the survey below by clicking the survey link in your preferred language.
