How to Participate in grants budget development

Citizen Participation PlanRegister to Speak

The City of Dallas’ Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) for HUD grants requires a minimum of six (6) public hearings be held during the development phase of the Consolidated Plan. Resident input informs City Council about activities (within HUD guidelines) that will best serve the needs of communities and, therefore, is an important part of the Consolidated Plan budget development process. In January 2023, the Grants Administration and CDC hosted five virtual and one hybrid Neighborhood Public Meetings with guest presentations by the Office of Environmental Quality & Sustainability (OEQS) and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) team.

The City invites residents to provide their input on how HUD grants should be spent to serve households that earn low to moderate incomes. Feedback received by March 1st will be considered in subsequent year’s budget development. For instance, feedback received by March 1, 2023, was used to develop the budget for FY 2023-24, which starts October 1, 2023.
