City of St. Cloud Seeks Community Input to Update Consolidated Plan for 2026 to 2030

(KNSI) — The City of St. Cloud is updating its Consolidated Plan.

The Consolidated Plan is a strategic document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for federal housing and community development funding. It is created every five years and relies on research, data collection, and community feedback.

The plan’s purpose is to set five-year goals to improve affordable housing, community development, and supportive services from 2026 through 2030. The plan will guide annual Community Development Block Grant funding to address the unmet needs of low—and moderate-income residents. City officials say community input is vital for shaping those priorities.

The funding is used for investments in public facilities, infrastructure, and nonprofit facilities, programs for families, public and senior services, homeless prevention, and support for affordable rental and homeownership options. It also funds resources for emergency, transitional, and permanent housing and support services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
