These figures are based on prior year funding levels.   

The Annual Plan describes proposed activities to be funded from FY 2026-27 and previous year entitlements, which must meet the goals established in the 2025-29 Consolidated Plan.  

The CDBG and ESG programs provide funding to the County's unincorporated area and the cities of Coronado, Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, and Solana Beach, also known as the Urban County.  CDBG funds must: (1) benefit lower-income persons; (2) prevent/eliminate slums and blight; or (3) meet urgent community development needs.  The ESG program funds homeless assistance in the Urban County. The HOME program funds affordable housing activities within the County HOME Consortium.  The HOME Consortium includes the Urban County, plus the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, San Marcos, Santee, and Vista.  The HOPWA program funds housing/services for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families throughout San Diego County.
