Budget & Management Services – Grant Administration/Community
Development Division provides program oversight for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Plan, which includes: the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Program Grant (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The Consolidated Plan identifies the needs, priorities, and details on how the community needs will be addressed through a comprehensive analysis and strategic plan. The FY 2022-23 Consolidated Plan was approved by City Council on June 22, 2022, through Council Resolution # 221024.
Grants are intended for the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for the benefit of individuals who earn low and moderate incomes. Shaded sections on the CD Eligible Census Tracts and Block Groups have been identified as primarily "low/moderate-income areas" (LMA), and qualifying activities are considered to benefit all residents and businesses within the corresponding areas.
The City of Dallas receives these grants from HUD annually. To ensure grant compliance, the Grants Administration maintains an ongoing relationship with HUD; trains and monitors City departments that implement funded projects; supports the City Council-appointed Community Development Commission (CDC); and interprets HUD and other federal regulations.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN (GRANTS) BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
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. The Consolidated Plan provides a comprehensive analysis and strategic plan for how residents' needs will be addressed. 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.
Given the current public health precautions, HUD rules allow hybrid hearings in lieu of in-person public hearings to fulfill public hearing requirements. In January 2023, the Grants Administration and Community Development Commission (CDC) will host five (5) virtual and one (1) hybrid Neighborhood Public Meetings. The City invites residents to attend a meeting and provide their input on how HUD grants should be spent to serve households that earn low to moderate incomes, using the survey.
