2025-26 Performance Review and Needs Assessment

Pinellas County, in partnership with the City of Largo, is in the process of developing its 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs. The City of Largo is developing its 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the CDBG Program.

Pinellas County’s FY25-29 5-Year Consolidated Plan describes the County’s community development priorities and multiyear goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of housing and economic market conditions and available resources. The 5-Year Plan will specifically address the needs of low-and-moderate income residents and the neighborhoods which they live.

Pinellas County’s FY25-26 Annual Action Plan is a One-Year Plan specifying how Pinellas County will utilize CDBG and ESG funds and how the Consortium, with the City of Largo, will utilize HOME funds. The City of Largo’s Action Plan will address how it will utilize its CDBG funding. The Action Plan is developed through a process which includes input from citizens and agencies through community meetings, public hearings, and a competitive application process.

A joint public hearing is being held with the City of Largo to obtain citizens’ views on housing and community development needs, and on review of FY23-24 program performance for the County and the City’s CDBG, ESG, and HOME Programs.
