The city of Frisco is actively gathering community input to shape its 2025-2029 five-year consolidated plan and 2025-2026 annual action plan. These plans are essential for securing federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), enabling the city to address critical needs related to housing, economic and community development and homelessness.
How To Make Your Voice Heard
To ensure these plans reflect the community's priorities, Frisco invites residents to participate in a confidential survey. The feedback collected will play a key role in identifying and addressing local challenges, helping the city allocate resources effectively. The survey is open to all Frisco residents and will remain active until 11:45 p.m. on Dec. 14, 2024.
