The North Dakota Department of Commerce (ND DoC) Division of Community Services and North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA) announce that the state’s Annual Report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the 2025 Action Plan will be available for public review and comment during the period of September 1-17, 2026.

The 2025 Action Plan served as the state’s grant application to HUD for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solutions Grant, and National Housing Trust Fund programs. The Annual Report provides information on the various activities funded by these programs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and describes how these activities addressed the goals and objectives of the state’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. In addition, the Annual Report identifies the number and types of households that benefited from these programs during the 2025 program year.
