The Anne Arundel County Consolidated Plan identifies and describes the Anne Arundel County, Maryland housing and community development needs for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, and establishes a vision, goals and intended outcomes to address the identified needs. The Plan describes how the strategies will be implemented, in part, with annual entitlements of federal Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solution Grant, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS funds, and Continuum of Care Program funds. Approval of this Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prerequisite for the County’s annual applications to receive entitlement funds.

The publication of this draft Consolidated Plan follows three public meetings and a series of listening sessions in which citizens were invited to provide input on the County’s housing and community development needs, goals and strategies. More information on those hearings and the Citizen Participation Plan is below. The public may continue to provide input by commenting on the draft Plan.

Oral and written comments can be submitted by calling 410-222-3956, emailing ebrush@acdsinc.org or mailing to ACDS, 2666 Riva Road, Suite 210, Annapolis, MD 21401. Comments received by or before 5 p.m. on Monday, May 12, 2025, will be considered and changes made, if such changes are deemed appropriate, prior to submitting the final plan to HUD. A summary of all comments, with reasons provided for any comments not incorporated, will be included in the Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD.
