This public meeting is part of the engagement process informing the City of Columbia’s 5-year Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is the City's strategic planning document for developing policy to direct federal and local resources for affordable housing and community development in Columbia. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funding directly support the City’s strategic priority of social equity to strengthen our community so all individuals can thrive.

Public engagement is critical for developing an effective plan that reflects the values of the community. Please come out and be a part of shaping Columbia’s future and guiding how public resources are expended. Contact Randy Cole at [email protected] for more information.
