Housing & Community Development

The mission of the City of West Palm Beach Department of Housing and Community Development is to enhance the quality of life for its residents through the development of housing, social, and economic opportunities. The Department is committed to high standards of customer service in the administration and delivery of programs that are collaborative, innovative, and sustainable.

Creating opportunities that will support and empower low-income household and neighborhoods requires a multifaceted and comprehensive approach. In order to maximize the production of affordable housing, economic development, and the provision of services to its residents, the Department is committed to a variety of public/private initiatives and works toward integrative goals that focus on leveraging strategies both internally and externally.

Community Services, a division of the Department, is a resource center that offers the community a compassionate place to receive information, referrals, counseling and serves as a "one-stop" assistance center.

FY 2024 Annual Action Plan

The City of West Palm Beach hosted a hybrid community meeting on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, seeking input on the FY 2024 Annual Action Plan.

The Annual Action Plan allocates federal CDBG, HOME, and HOPWA funding to address the housing, public services, homelessness, and public facilities and infrastructure needs of primarily low- and moderate-income individuals and families.

This meeting served as an opportunity for residents, organizations serving low- and moderate-income persons and special needs populations, and other interested parties to provide input on the FY 2024 Annual Action Plan.
