SNOHOMISH COUNTY, JAN. 2: Snohomish County is inviting the community to provide input on affordable housing, public facilities, infrastructure, public services, and fair housing to be funded with 2026 federal grant funds.
Snohomish County, in consortium with 18 cities and towns within the County, receives approximately $5 million in federal funds each year that help support projects that benefit low-to-moderate income residents.
The use of grant funds is guided by a five-year 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which establishes goals based on community needs.
Each year, Snohomish County is required to develop an Action Plan for the use of these funds. The 2026 Action Plan will cover the period between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027.
Two Virtual Public Hearings are scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 14, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
In addition to receiving input for how to use 2026 federal grants, the County is seeking feedback on the 2024 grant performance.
Snohomish County will also accept written comments. Comments may be sent to Debra May at [email protected] or by mail to Snohomish County Human Services Department – OHCD, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., M/S 305, Everett, WA 98201.
For more information and directions on how to participate in the public hearings, visit the Snohomish County Consolidated Plan for 2025-2029 website.
