Introduction The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan was developed in accordance with the City's 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan. The City conducted an outreach campaign as part of the preparation of the plan that included public workshops between February 3- 25, 2025, and a community-wide survey available from February 1-28, 2025. These efforts were focused on gathering input for setting the Priority Needs for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, reviewing the Citizen Participation Plan, and discussing Fair Housing issues. Outreach consisted of press releases, a display ad, social media postings, emailed invitations with survey links, and notices in the local newspaper, the San Marcos Daily Record. Assistance for disabled persons and those with limited English proficiency were publicized with each notice and at each meeting. Notices were translated into Spanish for publication at the same time as the English versions, and staff is bilingual and available for translation. City Staff consulted directly with the organizations listed below by asking specific questions through surveys and interviews, to gather information needed to present a complete picture of the City's grant funding priorities and activities. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). The City's primary roles in the grant funding, affordable housing, homelessness, and public service arenas are 1) to participate with interested parties and agencies in open discussion and information gathering and 2) to provide funding for projects that support the community's highest priorities as determined through public processes. The library, as a public entity, is a natural liaison between the community and various non-profit providers. The Library has several dozen programs that leverage these collaborative partnerships.,such as Community Action,St. Davids Foundation,Greater San Marcos Youth Council, San Marcos Queer Council, Dunbar Heritage Association, Hays County Master Gardeners, Volunteer Legal Services of Austin, Austin Tenants Council, Workforce Solutions, and others that provide a rich array of library programming all year long.
