Help shape the future of your community!

The Contra Costa County Consortium, which includes the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Walnut Creek, and the County of Contra Costa (on behalf of all the other towns and cities in Contra Costa) receive federal HOME, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding every year. Over a five-year period, these funds will total over $50 million!!

These federal funds, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can be used to build new affordable housing, rehabilitate homes for lower-income and senior homeowners, improve or construct public facilities and parks, improve infrastructure in lower-income neighborhoods, provide employment training and assistance to small business owners, provide a wide variety of services

for lower-income families and individuals, and homeless persons, and SO MUCH MORE!

We want to hear from you…. Every five years, YOU, your friends, your neighbors, and your community have the opportunity to help identify your community’s greatest needs and determine how these funds are spent to help address those needs. Please take a few moments to complete an online survey by going to www.cccounty.us/conplan and clicking “Community Needs Survey”. This survey will take approximately 15 minutes, so please be prepared to give it your thoughtful consideration.

For more information on the five-year planning process and other opportunities to participate, please contact the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development at (925) 655-7208 or visit us on the web at www.cccounty.us/conplan
