The CDBG Program funds programs that benefit low income (80% AMI) individuals and families in Pleasanton. As a condition of receiving its annual CDBG allocation, the City is required to submit a “Consolidated Plan” every five years and an “Annual Action Plan” every year. While the Consolidated Plan establishes the City’s housing and community development goals, the Annual Action Plans list projects and activities to be funded with CDBG funds.

In order to continue to receive this annual funding, the City is required to prepare a long term, Five-Year Consolidated Plan that establishes the strategies for addressing the City’s priority needs as well as the funding priorities for the City’s CDBG and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) programs. The current Consolidated Plan covers the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029.
HUD also requires the City to annually submit two additional critical documents related to the Consolidated Plan:
- The Annual Action Plans that describe the projects that the City proposes to undertake in each and every fiscal year covered in the Consolidated Plan and
- The Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Reports (CAPERs) that assess the City’s performance in meeting the goals, objectives and actions proposed under its Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Plan.
