The City of Alexandria is asking residents to weigh in on its Draft One-Year Action Plan for Housing and Community Development for fiscal year 2026. The plan, covering July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, opened for public review starting today (March 17, 2025).
Residents have a 30-day window to provide feedback, ending April 16, 2025. The city offers several ways to participate, including written comments and speaking at a public hearing.
The Alexandria Housing Affordability Advisory Committee will host the public hearing during its regular meeting on April 3 at 7 p.m. in Room 1900 of Alexandria City Hall.
You can find copies of the Draft Action Plan and a Resident Summary online at various locations around the city. The Office of Housing at 421 King Street will have physical copies available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The documents will also be posted on the city’s website at alexandriava.gov/Housing. Four city libraries—Beatley Central, Barrett Branch, Burke Branch, and Duncan Branch—will also have copies available.
After the public comment period and City Council approval, the plan will be sent to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This submission is required for the city to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Program funds for the 2025 fiscal year.
