As a recipient of federal grant funds, the City of Port St. Lucie is required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to produce a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan. These documents, prepared by the City's Department of Neighborhood Services, serve as the application for funding for the Community Development Block Grant, a federal entitlement program that serves low to moderate income individuals and/or families. The City of Port St. Lucie's 2021-2026 Consolidated Plan identifies the community's affordable housing, community development and economic development needs and outlines a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for addressing them.
