Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department is requesting proposals from qualified firms and individuals to update the existing Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the City of Salem.

All planning documents must be prepared in conformance to all associated Federal laws and regulatory requirements. The City intends to submit the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments and 2025 Annual Action Plan to the Portland HUD Field Office in the spring of 2025.
