Public Comment Period Open September 5, 2025 - October 8, 2025: 2025-2029 5-Year Consolidated Plan, CDBG Action Plan Program Year 2025, CDBG Action Plan Amendment #2 Program Year 2020.
The City of Salisbury recieves Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually from the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a condition of receiving these funds, the City is required to develop a 5-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan that outlines the community development goals on which it will focus to foster decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persions.
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan will be used as a framework to guide Annual Action plans that identify programs and activities that CDBG dollars will fund. The following goals have been developed to both respond to current needs, but will allow the City to be nimble in responding to future challenges.
- Create and preserve decent, affordable housing
- Strengthen Neighborhoods
- Provide assistance to public service agencies
- Effectively plan and administer programs
Included in the Consolidated Plan is a 2025 Action Plan and Budget outlining the programs and budget that the City and partners plan to implement in the first year. The Program Year 2025 Action Plan covers the period between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026. During this period the City anticipates receiving $342,969.00 in Community Development Block Grant funding, and $25,000 in program income. The following reflects the recommended priorities for programs and a proposed budget:
Goal: Create and preserve decent, affordable housing

- Program: FY 2025-2026 Affordable Rental Housing (Ford Motor City Lofts): $100,000.00
Goal: Provide assistance to public service agencies

In 2020 the City of Salisbury received an additional allocation of CDBG-CV funding that was made available through the CARES Act that aimed to help communities struggling with impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Amendment #2 to the 2020-2021 Action Plan is also proposed. This amendment proposes to reallocate $60,000 of CDBG-CV funds from the Small Business Assistance project to Homeless Prevention Coordination.
