Housing & Community Development Plans & Reports

Salt Lake County’s Proposed Five-year Consolidated Plan is a guiding document for investing federal, state, and local funds to address gaps in housing provision and community development. The document draws on research from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute and the Ivory-Boyer Real Estate Center, analysis of housing and economic market data, and expert and community input. 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designates Salt Lake County as an “Urban County.” In this capacity, Salt Lake County receives the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from HUD to distribute in unincorporated areas and smaller cities. Similarly, Salt Lake County receives housing block grants (“HOME”) distributed throughout the county and in larger cities.   

The proposed plan was heavily informed by Salt Lake County residents and experts in the field of housing, homelessness, community development, and service providers
