What you need to know
The survey is offered in both English and Spanish. All survey answers will be confidential. Residents will only be asked to share their ZIP code as part of the questionnaire and should not share any other identifying information to stay anonymous, according to a statement at the start of the survey.
Survey questions include:
- Ranking the need for public facilities, such as community centers and healthcare facilities
- Ranking the need for services including housing counseling or domestic abuse services
- Asking if the survey taker or someone they know has experienced housing discrimination
- Asking if the COVID-19 pandemic affected personal housing situations
- Describing the housing situation in Frisco
Multiple questions have opportunities to add more information.
The big picture
The survey is one way the city will gather input while preparing its 2025-29 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and 2025-26 Annual Action Plan.
The two plans are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD) before the city can receive federal funds to address needs related to housing, economic and community development and homelessness in Frisco, according to the city’s website.
One HUD funding resource is the Community Development Block Grant, which must be used to benefit low- and moderate-income Frisco residents. Previous uses of that grant have gone to Frisco Family Services and Meals on Wheels Collin County, according to an awarded projects breakdown on the city’s website.
Anything else?
The survey will close Dec. 31. Residents with questions about the survey or studies can reach out to Frisco Community Development Manager Venetta Windom at 972-292-5108 or [email protected].
