Waterloo Community Development

The mission of the Waterloo Community Development Board is to provide assistance for safe and sanitary housing through various programs. Please see the navigation menu to the left to learn more about our programs.

We provide housing rehabilitation assistance, emergency repairs assistance and down payment assistance to qualified applicants in the City of Waterloo, Iowa.

The cities of Waterloo and Cedar Falls have established a consortium under the federal HOME program, which allows contiguous units of local government that would not otherwise qualify for funding to form a consortium to directly participate in the program. The purpose of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan is to identify community needs related to eliminating slums and blight, creating and preserving affordable housing, expand economic development, ensure fair housing improve neighborhoods, public services and facilities, and other similar needs that can assist low income households and to identify strategies that will assist meeting the goals.

The Consolidated Plan was developed using demographic and housing data, current policy documents and programs, stakeholder meetings, community input, and previous program performance.

The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to guide federal funding decisions in the next five years.
