The City of Flint is in the process of drafting a Three-Year Consolidated Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program Years 2023-2025 to create a strategic and unified vision for HUD funding. In order to develop this vision, Flint is conducting a Needs Assessment Survey to collect input from local residents, business owners, and community service providers and comments related to the Three-Year Consolidated Plan. The survey seeks to collect information regarding housing and community development needs and priorities both now and in the future, and to gauge familiarity with the HUD-funded programs administered by the City of Flint.  This survey includes 12 questions in ranking, multiple-choice, and open-ended question formats.
 
Paper copies of the survey are available at the City of Flint Community and Economic Development Department at 1101 S. Saginaw Street - South Building, Flint, MI 48502.
