Public Hearing – Input on Housing and Community Development Challenges and How to Administer the 
Community Development Block Grant Program - Summary Recap 
 
Project Description:   
 
The intent of this public hearing is to collect input on housing and community development challenges 
and needs in the City of Buckeye to help inform how the City will administer the Community Development 
Block Grant (CDBG) program, which is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) under Title I of the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The 
City anticipates receiving approximately $500,000 in housing and community development funds from HUD 
in 2026. Prior to receiving those funds, the City must develop a 5-year Consolidated Plan, which sets priorities 
for allocating those funds among housing and community development activities (e.g., public services, 
economic development initiatives, and infrastructure improvements). This public hearing will also allow 
participants to review and comment on the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, which outlines how the City will 
engage the community during the development of the Consolidated Plan.
