Community Relations Commission - City of Plano

The Community Relations Commission of the City of Plano, Texas, consisting of eight members serving two-year terms, convenes regularly to address the social and community needs of Plano residents. A significant focus of their work involves recommending funding allocations to local agencies through the City's Consolidated Grant Process. This process, primarily conducted during April and May, oversees the distribution of approximately $2 million in combined City general funds and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds.
