Santa Clarita residents are encouraged to participate in The Community Needs Assessment Survey to help determine how to best allocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.

The Community Needs Assessment Survey is available online now through December 22, 2017 on the city’s website.

Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides the City of Santa Clarita Community Development Block Grant funding to benefit lower-income residents.

The City’s Community Needs Assessment allows residents to weigh in on how funding should be distributed to housing, supportive services, community facilities and infrastructure, and economic opportunities.

Some of the key results of last year’s Community Needs Assessment were::

  • Supportive Human Services – Youth Activities, Anti-Crime Programs and Mental Health Services
  • Community Facilities and Infrastructure – Homeless Shelters, Youth Centers, Parks and Recreational Facilities
  • Housing – Affordable Rental Housing, Energy Efficient Improvements and Senior Rental Housing
  • Economic Opportunities – Job Creation/Retention, Employment Training and Start-up Business Assistance
