Wichita Falls to hold hearing on housing needs
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Wichita Falls officials will hold a public hearing Wednesday on housing and community needs to help guide and develop city plans.
The public hearing will take place on June 4 from 3-4 p.m. at the Wichita Falls Public Library Conference Room. City officials specifically want to hear input from the local community on serving persons of low and moderate incomes.
Feedback from the hearing will impact the City of Wichita Falls 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, 2025 Action Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.
Those documents outline the city's vision for decent housing, suitable living environments and more economic opportunities. They also serve as a basis for yearly spending, and they analyze barriers to affordable housing.
In a press release, city officials laid out where some federal funding for affordable housing could come from: 'The City anticipates receiving entitlement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $1,206,417 from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and $349,094 from HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds.'
This is the first of two public hearings, the second one will be announced in July.
