Community Needs Assessment

In order to ensure that the City's investment of federal funding is guided by community input, the City engages in a community-led planning process every five years. 2024 marks the start of the planning process.

The City is currently conducting a Community Needs Assessment. The results of the Community Needs Survey will help inform decisions about the City’s investment of federal funding and its efforts to affirmatively further fair housing.

Key Components

Definitions

Housing is Affordable when a households’ housing expenses (rent/mortgage and utility costs) are no more than 30% of their monthly income.
Census Tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or city.
- Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people.
- A census tract usually covers a contiguous area and census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features.
Cost Burdened Households have monthly housing costs (rent/mortgage and utility costs) exceeding 30% of monthly income.
Family includes related individuals living in the same household.
Household includes all people living in a housing unit.
- Members of a household can be related (see family) or unrelated.

Income Limits for Federally-Funded Programs

Area Median Income and Income Limits

The Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) uses income data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau to estimate Median Family Income (MFI) for states, non-metropolitan counties and metropolitan statistical areas (a combination of counties).
- HUD then uses the MFI to calculate income limits for its programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant Program.
- These income limits are calculated as percentages of MFI and include adjustments for families of different sizes. The adjusted income limits are commonly referred to as Area Median Income (AMI).

The City of Carrollton is part of the Dallas, TX HUD Metro FMR Area. The Area Median Income (AMI) limits (adjusted for family size) are below:

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
