2024 Community Needs Assessment Survey
2024 Community Needs Assessment Survey
The City of Austin Housing Department invites you to help guide a new 5-year plan to invest housing and community development dollars where they are needed most. This Five-Year Federal Funding Plan decides how to distribute approximately $14 million in annual grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The public services and programs from this grant address things like affordable housing, job creation, and public service needs for low- and moderate-income families, persons with disabilities, and seniors.
Share Your Feedback
During our 2024 Community Needs Assessment period we heard a strong desire from the community for ongoing engagement. With that in mind, we are keeping our needs assessment survey open indefinitely. We will report back regularly what we're hearing and how feedback is being used. And we welcome your input at any point.

What we're hearing
This first phase of the community engagement report reflects the community needs we heard throughout the initial community needs assessment. This input has informed the first draft of the funding strategy. A second phase of the report will be produced over the next few months as engagement continues. The phase 2 report will show not only how feedback is used within the finalized consolidated plan but will also include other efforts the Housing Department is making to address community needs.
