NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONSORTIUM

FISCAL YEAR 2027-28 ANNUAL PLAN STRATEGY

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS, HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS, AND EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT PROGRAMS

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 9:00 a.m. on October 27, 2026 in Room 310 at the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA regarding the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027-28 Annual Plan Strategy

The County of San Diego develops an Annual Plan each year to identify specific projects to be funded during the upcoming fiscal year, through the four federal entitlement programs administered by the Health and Human Services Agency, Housing and Community Development Services: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The Annual Plan Strategy will help guide the development of the Annual Plan.

The CDBG and ESG Programs fund housing and community development activities in the Urban County which is comprised of the unincorporated area and six participating cities (Coronado, Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, and Solana Beach). The HOME Program provides funds for housing activities in the HOME Consortium jurisdiction which includes the Urban County, as well as six Consortium cities (Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, San Marcos, Santee, and Vista).  The HOPWA Program serves the entire San Diego County region.

The FY 2027-28 Annual Plan must be completed each year for the County’s CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and ESG programs. Prior to the development of the Annual Plan, the County outlines an Annual Plan Strategy which identifies funding priorities and processes for the upcoming year. The outline of the current Annual Plan Strategy can be viewed electronically at the Housing and Community Development Services Plan, Policies & Reports website.

The public is invited to attend the public hearing to comment on the Annual Plan Strategy, and to obtain the views of citizens on housing and community development needs prior to the preparation of the FY 2027-28 Annual Plan. The public may also provide comments in writing during the 30-day comment period ending October 27, 2026. Written comments should be addressed to Housing and Community Development Services, Community Development Division, 3989 Ruffin Road, San Diego, CA 92123, 858-694-8756, or by email to Community.Development@sdcounty.ca.gov.
