During the next five years, the City of Round Rock anticipates receiving an estimated $3 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that can be used for a wide range of community development activities. These funds must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households. In order to ensure that the City's investment of federal funding is guided by community input, the City engages in a community-led planning process every five years to gather input on community needs for the HUD Consolidated Plan and identify priorities for the use of the City’s annual CDBG allocation. The results of the Community Needs Survey will help inform decisions about the City’s investment of federal funding.
