    The Consolidated Plan is a strategic 5-year plan for the four federal entitlement programs that are administered by the County of San Diego, Housing and Community Development Service (HCDS). The Consolidated Plan helps to assess local affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions.  

    The 5-year Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans (Annual Plan). HCDS creates an Annual Plan for every program year. Additionally, HCDS develops an Annual Plan Strategy (Strategy) based on community input received. This Strategy serves to summarize the needs and project priorities for eligible communities and helps guide the County in reaching the 5-year Consolidated Plan goals and identify annual projects and activities to address the identified needs.  

    The new 2025-29 Consolidated Plan for the region was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 11, 2025. The County's official 2025-29 Consolidated Plan & 2026-27 Annual Plan will be submitted to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in June, reflecting official funding allocations from HUD. 

    Currently, HCDS is working to develop the fiscal year 2026-27 Annual Plan Strategy.
