Every October, on behalf of Anne Arundel County, ACDS begins the housing and community development budget process for the fiscal year that begins July 1st of the following year. ACDS welcomes broad public participation during the process and encourages comments and input from residents and service providers on the County’s current housing and community development needs, as well as recommendations for activities and projects which best address those needs. ACDS typically holds one public hearing in October and a second public hearing in February the following year.  Applications for the County’s Housing & Community Development funds are then made available and qualified nonprofit organizations and housing developers are invited to apply.
