The City of Syracuse is currently updating its Five-Year Consolidated Plan for 2025 to 2029, which will determine how federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) are allocated to support local programs.
These funds come from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and are crucial for neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and enhancing community facilities and services.
To ensure that the updated plan reflects the needs and priorities of Syracuse residents, the city's Department of Neighborhood and Business Development is seeking input through Housing and Neighborhood Surveys. These surveys offer residents an opportunity to share their insights on housing and community needs, helping to shape the direction of future funding and programs.
The surveys take about ten minutes to complete and will remain open until Friday, September 6 at 5 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to participate in this important process to have their voices heard and to learn more by visiting goto.syr.gov/neighborhoodgrants.
