Urban County - Community Development Block Grants
Monterey County was first designated as an entitlement community (Urban County) eligible by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive a formula allocation of CDBG funds in 2013. To qualify for, and maintain, this designation as an Urban County, the County partners with the cities of Del Rey Oaks, Gonzales, Greenfield, and Sand City. The overarching objective of the CDBG program is to provide services and projects that will improve the quality of life in predominantly low- and moderate-income areas. HUD defines low- and moderate-income as households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income, adjusted for household size.
5-Year Planning & Evaluation Documents (2025 - 2029)
Draft Consolidated Plan, English | Spanish
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the CPD formula block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program, and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program. The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. Grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The Urban County only receives CDBG funding from HUD. The current Consolidated Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on May 13, 2025, and covers the 2025-2029 period.
| At the time the Consolidated Plan was prepared, the Urban County plans to receive $6,858,145 in CDBG funding between Fiscal Years 2026 and 2030. The funding is expected to be distributed as shown in the following table: | ||||||

Draft Strategic Plan going before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
The primary goal is to provide citizens--especially low- and moderate-income citizens of the community where CDBG-funded activities will take place-- an opportunity to participate in an advisory role in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the programs and projects. The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) details the public hearing requirements that the Urban County will follow and how the public may participate in the planning and evaluation process. The CPP is usually adopted as part of the Consolidated Plan but may be amended from time to time.
The current CPP was adopted August 22, 2023.
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. (CAPER) provides annual performance reporting on client outputs and. outcomes that enables an assessment of grantee performance in achieving. the housing stability outcome measure. The CAPER is due to HUD annually by September 30. The Board of Supervisors usually conducts a public hearing following a noticed 30-day public review and comment period at their last scheduled meeting before the CAPER is due to HUD.
