Each year, the City of Bellevue receives community development block grants from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development for housing and community development activities that address priority needs identified by the city.
In the spring, the city requests proposals from organizations with projects that may be suitable for Community Development Block Grant funding the following year.
DRAFT Analysis of Impediments of Fair Housing Comment Period Open
The City of Bellevue participates with the King County Consortium in preparing and developing community-wide Analysis of Impediments of Fair Housing (AI). Bellevue as an entitlement City receives funding each year from the Department of Housing and Uban Development (HUD) under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended, known as the Community Development Block Grant Program.
For purposes of the AI, the duty to affirmatively further fair housing means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics
The Human Services Commission is now accepting comments from the public on the draft Analysis of Impediments of Fair Housing (linked below).
Written comments can be submitted via email to humanservicescommission@bellevuewa.gov.
Comment period will begin on Thursday, January 30 and close on Monday, March 3 at 4:30 p.m. Following this comment period, the Human Services Commission will be asked to adopt the draft AI at the March 3 Commission meeting.

Bellevue's plan details the requirements and processes for public involvement and opportunities for comment regarding the planning and programming for the Community Development Block Grant program. Occasionally the Citizen Participation Plan is updated and adopted by the Human Services Commission.
