EVERETT—The Snohomish County Consortia are partnerships between Snohomish County and the cities and towns in the county for the receipt of federal funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs.
The Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan & 2025 Annual Action Plan provides a framework to guide the investment of these funds to address local priority housing and community development needs that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons and areas of the county. Snohomish County collaborated on the plan with the City of Everett and the City of Marysville, each receiving and administering CDBG funds for their own cities and participating in the HOME Consortium.
The Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan includes an executive summary, a summary of the consultation and citizen participation process conducted during development of the plan, a needs assessment, a market analysis, and a strategic plan which identifies priority needs in the community and sets five-year goals for the investment of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds to help meet these needs. The plan covers the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030.
The Draft 2025 Annual Action Plan includes the Consortia’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG spending plan for the 2025 program year which runs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. It includes descriptions and funding awards for specific activities that will help achieve the five-year goals and actions anticipated to be undertaken under the additional strategies.
