The purpose of these sessions is to gain citizen input on priority housing and community development needs resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.  The City of Columbia has been awarded an additional $737,588 in Community Development Block Grant funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act signed into law on March 27, 2020 (CDBG-CV). Funds must be allocated towards CDBG eligible activities that help communities prevent, prepare and respond to the coronavirus.  

These virtual public engagement sessions are one of several opportunities to provide public comment regarding community priorities for housing and community development needs resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
