At the Sept. 10 City Council meeting, Mayor Haley will proclaim Sept. 11 as National Day of Service and Remembrance and encourage the citizens of Spokane Valley to fly their flags with pride, engage in meaningful acts of community service and remember the innocent victims who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
The five-year Consolidated Plan is a strategic document that helps local jurisdictions, like Spokane Valley, assess and address their community development and affordable housing needs. The plan identifies priorities and guides investment decisions, funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement programs, and federal grant spending to focus on areas with the greatest need. Per the city’s agreement with Spokane County, an annual set-aside for Spokane Valley is established every year, and in 2023, this allocation was $780,596. Help inform how future funds will be used over the next five years in Spokane Valley by taking a 9-question survey.
