As part of HUD requirements, we provide access to a variety of plans and reports that outline the City of Arlington’s goals, activities, and performance throughout the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan period. These include the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans, the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), and other program‑related documents submitted to HUD. This webpage is updated throughout each program year as new reports become available. The sections below contain the most current documents for review.
Consolidated Plans, Housing Needs Assessments & Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
The Consolidated Plan is a strategic planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that outlines how a city or county will use federal housing and community development funds over a five-year period. It identifies local needs related to affordable housing, homelessness, and neighborhood revitalization, and sets priorities for how programs like CDBG, HOME, and ESG will be used to address them. The plan is developed with extensive community input to ensure it reflects local goals and supports inclusive, sustainable development.
2025-2029 Consolidated Plans, Housing Needs Assessments & Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
The City of Arlington is currently developing its 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which will guide how federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is used to support affordable housing, community development, and services for vulnerable populations.
This plan is informed by data, community feedback, and the recently completed Housing Needs Assessment. Once finalized and approved by City Council, the Consolidated Plan will be submitted to HUD.
Please check back for updates as we continue to develop the plan and share opportunities for public input and engagement.
Action Plans
Each year, the City of Arlington develops an annual Action Plan which details the activities and projects that will be implemented with grant funds. The program year is July 1st to June 30th of the following year. Projects are selected that meet the Strategic Plan goals and objectives. See current and prior year Action Plans below.
Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) provides a yearly summary of how the City uses federal grant funds to support housing, community development, and public service activities. It highlights progress toward goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, including financial and performance outcomes. The CAPER reflects metrics and achievements from the most recently completed program year. It promotes transparency by showing how resources were invested in the community. Previous CAPER reports by program year, are available for public review in the Archived Documents folder below.
