West Valley City Council approved its Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant program for fiscal year 2027. The money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and West Valley City’s estimated funding is $1,073,357. Coupled with $79,568.88 from fiscal 2026, the estimated budget for fiscal 2027 is $1,152,926.

The Community Grants Division has created an Annual Action Plan and budget proposal that meets HUD’s goals, objectives, and guidelines governing the use of CDBG funds. The funds received annually are to run programs pertaining to low to moderate income individuals including families.
