If you live or run a business in Irving, now is the time to have your voice heard. The City of Irving is inviting residents, business owners, and local organizations to give feedback on its 2025 Annual Action Plan—a guiding document that decides how millions in federal funds will be spent in our community.
The Annual Action Plan outlines how Irving will allocate funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through programs like:
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
HOME Investment Partnerships Program
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
These funds impact everything from:
✅ Affordable housing
✅ Park improvements
✅ Small business façade upgrades
✅ Public services for seniors, youth & low-income families
The city is collecting public comments through July 22, 2025. You can participate by:
Submitting comments online: irvingtx.gov/ActionPlanComments
Attending public meetings or workshops (check the city's calendar)
Reading the draft plan at Irving Public Library branches or online
