Budget Process

Each fall, 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 in 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.

The Budget Process for FY2027 is the second year of the Anne Arundel County FY2026-FY2030 Consolidated Plan. Therefore, the Budget Process will be integrated into the Consolidated Planning Process as outlined on the FY2026- FY2030 Consolidated Plan Process and Schedule page. As part of this process, the county’s goals and strategies will be updated, which may impact the types of activities that are selected for funding. It is anticipated that eligible activities serving low-to-moderate income households will continue to be those related to:

  • Homeownership Opportunities
  • Rental Housing Opportunities
  • Preventing and Ending Homelessness
  • Sustainable Communities
  • Promoting Fair Housing
