A public input opportunity is coming up this fall, during which you can share your thoughts on federal funding for community development and housing. The Community Development Office will present its proposed 2026 Annual Action Plan for a 30-day public review and comment period, taking place Sept. 17-Oct. 16, 2025.

During this period, you will be able to provide input on proposed uses of 2026 CDBG and HOME program funding. These programs provide federal funding for implementation of affordable housing and community development opportunities, in support of low-to-moderate income residents.

A public hearing will take place on the proposed 2026 Action Plan on Oct. 23 during the regular Board of County Commissioners meeting, starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Third Floor Hearing Room at the County Administration Building, 111 S. Cherry St. Olathe, KS.

You can also submit comments in writing to the Community Development Coordinator in Suite 2000 of the County Administration Building, by phone at 913-715-2245, fax at 913-715-2222 or email at cdbg@jocogov.org. Keep in mind you must submit your comments by Oct. 16, 2025.
