Community Development 


With the help of members of the community, Carrollton has realized many successes in increasing community sustainability.   

People Helping People

People Helping People taps into the desire by individuals and groups from the community to help fellow residents by coordinating volunteer efforts to complete needed exterior home repairs.  Potential projects eligible homeowners could receive assistance: fence repair, graffiti removal, and help in complying with the city’s environmental codes.  Homeowners may be required to pay for any necessary materials, but volunteers will provide free labor. 

Neighborhood Advisory Commission

The Neighborhood Advisory Commission, or NAC, advises the City Council on matters relating to the Community Development Block Grant Program.  The Commission also receives Neighborhood Enhancement Matching Grant Program proposals from neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Oriented Targeted Infrastructure and Code Enforcement

Neighborhood Oriented Targeted Infrastructure and Code Enforcement, or N.O.T.I.C.E., allows the city to place an emphasis on improving the infrastructure of the neighborhoods most in need by targeting resources for the designs and implementation of all necessary street, alley, sidewalk, water and sewer line projects in Carrollton's neighborhoods. 

Neighborhood Enhancement Matching Grant Program

This grant program is aimed at providing assistance to neighborhood organizations on projects that improve the aesthetic appeal of the community.  Matching grant amounts of up to $5,000 per neighborhood per year can be approved for projects that improve the public areas of a neighborhood.

Neighborhood Registration & Resources

Significant component of the community are neighborhoods and the various organizations that represent them.  Through the registration process, neighborhoods become eligible to apply for a Neighborhood Enhancement Matching Grant and receive other assistance from the city. 

Community Development Block Grant Program

The city annually receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to help fund activities designed to assist Carrollton residents of low- and moderate-income people.
