Cary Housing Plan

Cary Town Council adopted the Cary Housing Plan in 2021 to underscore the guidance in the Community Plan. See here for more on the Plan.

Imagine Cary Community Plan

The Cary Community Plan, adopted January 24, 2017, is the comprehensive plan for the Town of Cary. This plan is the result of several years of work, unprecedented community input, and dozens of meetings and workshops. It sets out a long-term vision, policies, and strategic actions with a time horizon out to 2040.

The Cary Community Plan is a living document and as part of the process it is currently being reviewed – visit our Imagine Cary Community Plan Interim Update.

CDBG Consolidated Plan

Every five years, Cary prepares the Consolidated Plan is submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of the funding process for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Cary’s Consolidated Plan identifies and prioritizes housing, community and economic development needs and strategies, focusing primarily on the needs of low- and moderate-income residents. The statutory goals of the Consolidated Plan are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.

Annual Action Plans

Every year, the Town of Cary provides an update on the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. To give this update, staff must submit an Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan provides information on the progress we are making to meet the needs and goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan also serves as an application for funding from HUD for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
