Virginia Beach Residents: Help Guide the Five-Year Priorities and Strategies for Housing Programs

As a recipient of federal funding for housing programs, Virginia Beach is required to submit a Five-Year Consolidated Strategic Plan (CSP) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This plan outlines priorities and strategies for federal entitlement grants that address various housing needs in Virginia Beach. For example, these funds support programs to prevent and end homelessness, create affordable housing opportunities and provide home rehabilitation assistance for low- to moderate-income homeowners.  

The CSP also provides a summary of the City’s housing and community development needs and resources and is used as a tool for measuring our performance and tracking progress toward our five-year goals.  

Provide Input on Housing Needs for the Next Five-Year Plan 

Housing and Neighborhood Preservation is in the process of drafting the 2025-2030 CSP and is seeking help from residents to identify critical housing needs in the city. Your feedback will help guide the strategy and priorities for the City’s housing programs over the next five years.  

Residents can provide input in two ways: 

• Attend the public hearing, 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 in Building 21, 2408 Courthouse Drive, at the Municipal Center. 

• Complete an online survey at VirginiaBeach.gov/DraftCSP through March 2. As an alternative to completing the survey online, residents may complete a paper version of the survey at any Virginia Beach Public Library. 

Housing and Neighborhood Preservation will announce when the draft CSP is available for public review and comment. The CSP must be approved by the City Council before it can be submitted to HUD.
