Consolidated Plan FY 2021-2025
The Portland Consortium consisting of the City of Gresham, City of Portland and Multnomah County is required, every five years, to produce a plan called the Consolidated Plan. The Plan also includes the fiscal year 2021-22 Annual Action Plans for members of the Consortium. The Action Plan provides details on how the recipients of the federal funds intend to allocate the funding that is received annually.
The Con Plan also serves as the federal application for four federal programs run by the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA. The current plan covering FY 2021-25 provides an assessment of community needs, a market analysis and based on that includes draft program goals, priorities and strategies to address the community needs.

Getting started: What is the five-year Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and the CAPER?
Action Plan
This plan is the City of Portland’s annual Action Plan for the fiscal year 2024-25. It is the fourth annual plan tied to the aforementioned Consolidated Plan and details how the jurisdiction will use formula funds from HUD to meet the jurisdiction's affordable housing and community development needs. The plan details the levels of funding available for the fiscal year in reference, the list of projects with funding allocations, and the Consolidated Plan Goals that these projects will further. The proposed projects are based on community needs assessment, public comments, and consultation with area service providers.
Substantial Amendments to Action Plans
Any changes to funding levels, purpose, scope, location, eligibility, or type of beneficiaries of an activity trigger the requirement for amending the Consolidated Plan and/or Action Plan.
The City of Portland is making allocation changes to accumulated CDBG funds from past years based on current community housing needs and project readiness of Portland Housing Bureau’s affordable housing projects in the pipeline. Additionally, the City also received a one-time transfer of CDBG funds from the closeout of a loan program. The funding changes meet the criteria for substantial amendments to the adopted Action Plans from fiscal years: FY 2021-22, FY 2022-23, and FY 2024-25.
The hearing on the substantial amendment was held on January 28, 2025.
