Public comment period opens for 2024 CDBG funds

Published on April 11, 2024

The Housing and Community Development Office for the City of Cheyenne has started its annual public comment period for the office’s Annual Action Plan, which sets the goals the office has for the next year.

The Housing and Community Development Office administers federal Community Development Block Grant funds, of which the City is expected to receive $448,011 for this year. Several nonprofit organizations are expected to receive that funding, which are all tied to issues like housing and homelessness.

The City’s Annual Action Plan is part of a larger five-year plan the City is required to create and follow to receive CDBG funds. The Fiscal Year 2024 plan and other plans are available online at www.cheyennecity.org/cdbg.

A public hearing on the CDBG funds will be held at the April 22 City Council meeting. Another public hearing on the funds will be held at City Council’s Finance Committee meeting on May 6.

Public comment will also be accepted through an online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2024AAPcomments until May 6, 2024.
