BACKGROUND
As an entitlement agency, the City of Santa Clara receives annual funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds.

The AAP details how CDBG and HOME allocations will be used by the City to address the goals and needs identified in the City's ConPlan. The 2024-2025 AAP covers the final year of the 2020-2025 ConPlan cycle.
