Oakland's Five-Year Consolidation Plan for Housing & Urban Development

2025-30 Five-Year Consolidated Plan

The City of Oakland is a local-government grantee of annual formula block grants for community development and affordable housing from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Annual HUD formula block grants awarded to the City of Oakland include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Grant (HOPWA).

A key feature of these grants is the grantee’s ability to align investments with the highest priorities and needs. For each program, HUD describes a broad range of eligible activities. As grantee of these formula grants, the City of Oakland determines which of the eligible activities will best serve the needs of their community. To determine the most pressing needs and develop effective, place-based market-driven strategies to meet those needs, HUD requires grantees to develop a Five Year Strategic Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The Con Plan includes an Annual Action Plan (AAP) for the first year of the Con Plan. AAPs are developed each year of the Con Plan and submitted to HUD for approval.

The City of Oakland's Five Year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development is a comprehensive analysis of current market conditions, housing and community development needs, and outlines strategies for meeting those needs in Oakland.
