The Consolidated Plan is a U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) required five-year roadmap that guides how the City of Fort Wayne invests federal housing and community development funds to strengthen neighborhoods and support residents. This plan directly shapes local priorities and funding decisions.

Residents, stakeholders, and community partners are encouraged to help shape the Consolidated Plan process by sharing their perspective on community needs and service gaps. Input through surveys, focus groups, public hearings and neighborhood meetings will directly inform the City's five-year plan and funding priorities.

The City of Fort Wayne receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development that includes:

• Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
• HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
• Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG)
