The Consolidated Plan is Oceanside's plan for guiding community services, programs, and investments to benefit low/moderate income families and neighborhoods. Every five years, as required by HUD, the City assess community needs and develops goals for prioritizing its federal CDBG/HOME funding on identified housing, public facilities, public improvement, public service, and economic development needs. The City of Oceanside is in the process of updating its Consolidated Plan for the five-year period beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030.

GET INVOLVED

Over the next few months, Oceanside residents will be encouraged to share their needs and priorities through virtual and in-person community forums, including a community needs survey, an in-person pop-up at existing community events, and an in-person community workshop. This webpage will be updated with new information as it becomes available. Events will also be posted on the City’s live calendar.

Community Needs Survey
The Community Needs Survey is a major component of the development of the City’s Consolidated Plan Update, which will help identify neighborhood and community challenges facing Indio residents related to housing, public facilities, public improvement, public service, and economic development needs and priorities. While the City will analyze data from a variety of sources, participating in the survey is a great way for Oceanside residents to identify the challenges most impacting their households now. Your feedback will help shape the Consolidated Plan Update for 2025-2029 and funding priorities.

PROCESS

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. As a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program recipient, the City of Oceanside is required to report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). 

Please see our Planning Documents tab for current and past Consolidated Plans, Annual Action Plans, Annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER), and our Citizen Participation Plan.

Public Services
The Public Services Application process is CLOSED to new requests through the end of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan cycle. Funding is limited to renewal of funding for existing activities.

The federal regulations limits CDBG funding for public services – social services, health programs, youth and senior activities, etc. – to a maximum of 15 percent of the CDBG entitlement funding for the year. Additionally, the City Council has limited grants for public services to no more than $35,000 per project and only for those agencies that provide services as follows:

• Services are provided in a City facility, including recreation centers and community resource centers;
• Aimed at prevention homelessness and/or essential services to homeless individuals and families; or 
• Focused in one of the City's Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area Plans.

Neighborhood Improvement Projects

The City's primary emphasis in the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan period will be to support neighborhood-based programs and activities that relate to City parks & recreation facilities, community resource centers and other facilities located in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City will particularly support activities that fulfill goals and objectives in the Crown Heights and Eastside neighborhoods. Consideration for funding of these capital projects are by invitation only.

The City of Oceanside is preparing the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This Needs Assessment Survey is used to obtain input from community residents regarding affordable housing, community development, economic development, and other needs of the City residents.
