Public input needed for the use of federal grant funds
Your input is needed.
The city will hold a series of neighborhood meetings and a Telephone Town Hall meeting to receive resident input on how the city uses federal grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to address community needs through the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan includes four grants:
Community Development Block Grant
HOME Investment Partnerships Program
Emergency Solutions Grant
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan directs how the City plans to invest these HUD grant funds over the next five years.
“It’s up to us as residents to help Dallas leadership to be strategic and proactive,” said Kristine Schwope, Chair of the Dallas Community Development Commission (CDC). “These public hearings are a great way to ensure our voice is heard and reflected in the budget.”
Public hearings will continue through January 17 and meetings will be held at various locations throughout the city.
