2025-2030 Community Development Block Grant Survey

Introduction

The City of Auburn is looking for community input on distributing federal community development grant funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development over the next five years. These funds assist low to moderate income city residents and areas. Please fill out the survey and provide feedback on which programs you think would best help City of Auburn residents.

Every five years, the City completes an Analysis to Fair Housing Plan in conjunction with the Five Year Consolidated Plan.

The results from the survey will assist the City in evaluating how to effectively further fair housing in the community.
