Federal Consolidated Plan 2025-29 Survey

Section One: Demographics

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) invites you to participate in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Planning for the State of California!

The State of California receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to invest in affordable housing, address homelessness, and meet infrastructure, economic development and social services needs in our Tribal communities, cities and counties. The Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) is the roadmap that guides how these funds will be spent for the next five years. Please tell us about your housing and community challenges and ideas to inform the Con Plan!

All survey responses are anonymous. 

If you have questions or would like to speak with someone about the Consolidated Plan, please visit the Department of Housing and Community Development website at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/ or email us at ConsolidatedPlan@hcd.ca.gov. Thank you!
