EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Community Services is preparing the 2025 Action Plan for Housing and Community Development (Action Plan) that provides recommendations for the use of federal community development funding in the City of Denton. The draft 2025 Action Plan for the Program Year from Oct. 1, 2025, through Sep. 30, 2026, will be the third year in the City’s 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development (Linked). Community Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) recommendations for the allocation of $2,426,043.09 of local and federal funding are included in the 2025 Action Plan, which will be posted for public comment May 19 through June 20. A public hearing for the plan is scheduled for June 17, during the regular City Council meeting. Council is scheduled to consider final approval of the plan at the July 22 City Council meeting. DISCUSSION: Community Development Funding Overview As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) program funds, the City of Denton is required to submit a five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development and a corresponding annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These federal funds are received annually to support the activities outlined in both plans. The annual Action Plan is developed based on strategies outlined in the Consolidated plan and provides a description of how funds are allocated each Program Year. The annual Action Plan is reviewed and approved by City Council for submission to HUD. Eligible Activities Eligible activities for CDBG and HOME funding include housing development, rehabilitation and preservations; improving community facilities and neighborhood infrastructure; public (human) services; economic development; planning; and program administration. CDBG HOME Acquisition Affordable Rental Housing Public Facilities and Improvements Homeownership Assistance Demolition and Clearance Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Social Services (15% cap) Land Acquisition Housing Programs New Housing Construction May 16, 2025 Report No. 2025-049 Economic Development Historic Preservation Code Enforcement Removal of Architectural Barriers Citizen Participation To gain public input for the 2025 Action Plan, staff held a public hearing on November 13, 2024, and used an online survey requesting citizen input regarding the use of CDBG and HOME funds. A summary of online survey is included in Exhibit 1. A final Public Hearing will be held June 17, during a regular session of City Council, for feedback on the 2025 Action Plan. Community engagement activities regarding public hearings and survey distribution are outlined below. 1. Information was sent via email listserv to residents, previous clients, committee members, local churches, lenders and realtors who participate in the City’s housing programs, neighborhood associations, and social services agencies. 2. Newspaper advertisements were posted in the Denton Record-Chronicle. 3. Information was sent to City Council members through the Friday report. 4. Flyers were posted in City buildings. 5. Information was posted on social media. Available Funding Although the Trump Administration has proposed eliminating funding to CDBG and HOME programs for the FY 2025-26 budget year, HUD has provided their official allocation amounts to the City, detailed below. Congress will decide as part of the federal budget process if CDBG and HOME will be funded, and our HUD Community Planning and Development rep and federal consultant is confident that they will fund the programs. The City of Denton’s 2025 Action Plan reflects local (General Fund), and federal (CDBG and HOME) funding. The City’s general fund allocation for the Community Development Grant Program is included in the Action Plan to reflect the City’s investment to leverage with federal funds. However, the General Fund recommendations will be considered for approval by City Council during the normal budgeting cycle for FY 2025-26. Funding from the City's General Fund is contingent upon availability and is currently under review and not guaranteed. The total grant funding proposed for the FY 2025-26 program year is $2,426,043, as outlined in Figure 1.

Funding recommendations will be proportionally adjusted based on the final allocation amounts from HUD and City Council, anticipated mid to late May and October, respectively.

The City of Denton conducts an annual survey to gather resident feedback regarding community priorities for housing and community development needs. The Community Services Advisory Committee utilizes this feedback to evaluate and recommend organizations for funding through the City of Denton’s Community Development Grant Program. In November 2024 the Community Services Department conducted a 13- question Funding Priority Survey via Survey Monkey for the 2025-2026 Funding Program Year. Community members were notified of the survey via email, social media, the City’s website, and the Denton Record Chronicle. There were 39 responses to the survey. Respondents were asked to identify their top 3 priorities to address needs in program areas identified in the City’s 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development: Affordable Housing, Homelessness, Public Services, Public Facilities. This year the survey also gathered feedback on how residents prefer to receive feedback on community development activities, and common ways to seek or refer neighbors to local resources. The top 3 priorities for each program area were captured by a percentage and the raw number of respondents who selected each answer as a top 3 priority, for example in question one; “Please choose your top three priorities for Affordable Housing needs in Denton”; 31 of 39 or 79.49% of respondents selected “Provide housing for vulnerable populations (seniors, people with disabilities, large families)” as a top 3 priority essentially making it the top priority related to affordable housing. This report provides a summary of the survey results. Questions or comments may be submitted to the Community Services department via email (CommunityDevelopment@CityofDenton.com) or phone (940) 349-7726.
