The City of Pomona is an entitlement jurisdiction that receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investments Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 2024-2025 PROPOSED ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN
The 2024-2025 draft Annual Action Plan is the second plan under the 2023-2028 Consolidated Plan.

The proposed 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan is based on citizen input, consultation with community-based agencies, and City Council recommendations. To ensure citizen and stakeholder participation in the development of the Annual Action Plan, outreach efforts included mailing informational postcards to over 43,500 households informing them of community meeting dates, and requesting their input via a Community Needs Survey. Community meetings were held virtually via Zoom and in person. Surveys were made available online on the City’s website, at the City Hall Housing counter and in many other high foot traffic areas. The Community Needs Survey was available on-line in English and Spanish beginning September 28, 2023. The final date for submission of the 2024-2025 survey was January 31, 2024. The City received a total of 366 survey responses.
