FY 2026-2027 federal grant action plan (CDBG, HOME, ESG)
Long Beach
Summary
The city is starting to build next year's plan for spending federal HUD money on affordable housing, homelessness services, neighborhood improvements, small business support, and fair housing. Residents can shape priorities through a survey open until May 2 and a second hearing June 10. The catch: local grant dollars are expected to shrink even though federal funding stayed flat.

Impact analysis
Federal HUD grants to Long Beach have been steadily declining, and staff expect next year's allocation to shrink further due to inflation and rising costs.
Low-income residents, people experiencing homelessness, small businesses, and neighborhoods served by CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs.
Programs and residents relying on HUD-funded services may face cuts if allocations decline as staff expect.

Budget Oversight Committee - Aug 4, 2026
The health department has lost $15 million in federal funding, forcing service cuts to WIC, SNAP, and HIV care programs. The city still has $220 million in federal infrastructure funding intact, but losing it mid-project would force the city to cover costs and delay other projects.
City Council - Jun 16, 2026
The FY 2026-27 plan for CDBG, HOME and ESG funds was approved, but members warned the Trump administration's proposed FY 27 budget would eliminate CDBG and HOME — programs that fund housing, senior meals, graffiti removal and neighborhood leadership.
The Long Beach Community Investment Company - Special Meeting - Jun 10, 2026
The city's roughly $9.4 million annual pot of federal housing and community development money is being allocated for the final year of the current five-year plan. Affordable housing gets the biggest share, followed by homelessness services and neighborhood programs like senior meals, after-school recreation, sidewalk repairs and code enforcement. Staff warned federal budget proposals could eliminate CDBG and sharply cut HOME in future years.
