The City of Fargo is gathering public input as part of the citizen participation process for preparing its 2026 Annual Action Plan. This plan allocates the City’s annual entitlement funds, received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for the City’s HUD-funded programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. The primary purpose of these funds is to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals and households. The 2026 Annual Action Plan will outline how the City will allocate the 2026 annual allocations for CDBG and HOME, and prioritize which activities will be funded.
As part of the citizen participation process, the City will hold a public input meeting to share updates on the City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and to gather input on Fargo’s needs for housing stability, housing preservation, services for individuals with extremely low incomes, and public infrastructure and facilities improvements in low- and moderate-income area neighborhoods as they relate to the goals in the City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and development of the upcoming 2026 Action Plan.
