Federal dollars are coming to Dallas and public input is being requested for the use of those dollars.
The City of Dallas Community Development Commission (CDC), along with staff from Budget and Management Services will hold a series of virtual neighborhood public meetings to inform residents of the potential uses of U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds.
The meetings are also designed to encourage residents to provide input on how the City uses these federal grant funds to address community needs.
The HUD grants serve low-and-moderate income residents and communities in Dallas. The FY 2022-23 Action Plan (annual budget) will be submitted to HUD August 2022. The meetings begin virtually Thursday, January 6 to January 20.
