The City is a member of the Thurston County – Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Other members include the city of Tumwater and Thurston County. The program provides funding to support affordable housing and community development needs throughout the greater Thurston County area.
Member entities are provided CDBG funding every three years. The grant amount is based on the population size and the number of low-income persons living in Thurston County, not including the city of Olympia, which is a stand-alone entitlement community.
The City of Lacey received CDBG funding in 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023.
