City of New London
Community Development Block Grant
Five Year Consolidated Plan of Housing and Community Development
The City of New London wants your input to help guide our affordable housing and community development funding priorities. Feedback collected from the community will provide direction for the development of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development in the City of New London.
This five-year planning document is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to determine how the City will use the funds available through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Plan will describe the City’s housing and community needs, strategies, and priorities.
What we want to know:
- What segments of the population are most in need of assistance?
- What housing and service programs are working for low/moderate-income residents?
- What is needed to improve housing & service programs for low/moderate-income residents?
- What projects would make a real difference for our community?
