McKinney council to discuss housing needs assessment at upcoming work session

Root Policy Research is scheduled to update McKinney City Council members on the city’s affordable housing needs at an upcoming work session.

What’s happening?

Council members are meeting Feb. 17 for a work session and a regular meeting later the same day. The work session agenda includes a presentation from Root Policy Research assessing McKinney’s affordable housing needs and policy recommendations, according to a city document.

Root Policy Research was hired by the city in June to prepare a 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan that examines affordable housing needs. That plan, which is required to be eligible for federal grants, was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to the city’s website.

The presentation scheduled for Tuesday will cover demographic trends, housing market conditions and housing needs in McKinney.

Get involved

Council’s work session and regular meeting will take place at McKinney City Hall, located at 401 E. Virginia St. The meetings will be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person. For more information about McKinney City Council meetings, visit www.mckinneytexas.org/1168/Council-Meetings.
