HUD Consolidated Plan (2025-2029) Community Survey

Your Input is Valued!

The Consolidated Plan serves as the blueprint for determining how the City will spend the approximately $2.5 million it anticipates receiving annually from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over the next five years. These HUD funds can be used to support both City and non-profit programs and must be used in projects that:

Benefit low- and moderate-income persons
Prevent or eliminate of slums or blight
Remediate existing conditions that pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available

This Survey is part of a city-wide study to define the priority needs of the community. As such, Manchester residents and, in particular, public housing residents, public and private agencies, businesses and other interested parties are encouraged to voice their concerns and express their opinions on the priority needs of the Community.
