ITEM SUMMARY:
• The City of Mckinney receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Housing and Community Development activities through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. The 5-year Consolidated Plan is a planning document for the city, enhanced through a participatory process with the public. The Consolidated Plan helps identify housing and community development needs and market conditions to make data-driven investment decisions. HUD determines overall funding allocations under each city’s consolidated plan. Per Federal regulations, the Consolidated Plan must include the following components:
o Identification of the Lead Agency
o Housing and Homeless Needs
o Housing Market and Needs Analysis
o Strategic Needs
o Annual Action Plan
• Based on recent community input received for the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the following community goals will be included as priorities for the next five years:
o Goal 1 - Affordable Housing: This goal supports efforts to improve housing conditions for low- and moderate-income households and increase access to affordable housing across the city.
o Goal 2 - Homeless Prevention and Services: This goal supports efforts to prevent homelessness and provide assistance to individuals and families currently experiencing homelessness.
o Goal 3 - Non-Housing Community Development: This goal includes public services for low- to moderate-income populations and other community investments such as neighborhood improvements, business and workforce support, economic development, or public facility and infrastructure improvements that benefit low- to moderate-income areas or persons.
o Goal 4 - Grant Administration: Funding up to the statutory maximum of 20% of total program year grant allocation, for the purpose of supporting all program goals and activities and providing assurance that regulation and program requirements are met, including monitoring of the statutory maximum of 15% of total program year funds allocated to public services.
• In addition, the Consolidated Plan also includes the first year Annual Action Plan, effective October 1, 2025. Thereafter, the Annual Action Plan is submitted separately.
• The public was able to participate in a housing and community development survey and public meetings, consultations, and focus groups hearings from October 3, 2024 - August 5. Additionally, public hearings were held on May 14, May 15 in concert with the Annual Action Plan and specifically for the Consolidated Plan on July 10 and August 5.
• Additional comments and survey results following approval from this resolution, will be submitted to HUD as a supplemental document.
• Based on the interest and input from the community, this Consolidated Plan will also include a separate Affordable Housing Strategy. The initial strategies are outlined in the Consolidated Plan that meets HUD guidelines and will be further refined in a separate document.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The City of McKinney has participated as a HUD Entitlement Community Since FY 2003, with resources used predominantly to benefit low- to moderate-income households and individuals. The city’s programs are citywide, with a focus on older sectors of the city under census tracts 306, 307, 308, and 309.
• The CDBG and HOME funds are the primary funding sources under the Annual Action Plan. Eligible public service activities may include, but are not limited to, rent/mortgage/utility assistance for homelessness prevention, counseling, senior services, family assistance and other eligible activities.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan that projects estimated funding based on previous evaluation; only year one allocations for FY 2025-2026 are submitted in the Plan. The city will receive a federal allocation of $907,326 in CDBG resources to fund activities including the city’s Housing Rehabilitation, Public Services and Community Development programs, and Grants Administration. The city will receive $345,211.31 under the HOME program and will be used to assist eligible residents with Tenant-Based Rental Assistance. The city anticipates use of carryover funds from previous years to be used for eligible activities, to be amended within the city’s FY 2025-26 budget. Funds are used toward activities to benefit eligible McKinney residents within city limits.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
• The Community Grants Advisory Commission (CGAC) held public hearings on May 14 and May 15 and deliberated on July 10, 2025 to recommend approval of the Action Plan under the Consolidated Plan.
