📣 Long Beach, we want to hear from you!

Your voice can help shape how the City prioritizes funding for programs and services that support our community over the next five years.

The City is developing its 2028–2032 Consolidated Plan, and we’re asking residents to take a quick survey and share what matters most to you.

🏘️ What does our community need most?
💬 What should be a priority?
🤝 How can we better support Long Beach residents?

Take the survey and help make sure your community’s needs are represented.
