TELL US YOUR PRIORITIES WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK
The City of Daytona Beach is seeking community input to help guide how federal grant funds are used. Each year, the city receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds to support housing, improve living conditions and expand economic opportunities for low- and very-low income residents. To ensure funding aligns with community needs, we’re asking residents to complete a brief, nine-question survey. It takes just a few minutes and asks you to prioritize local needs, identify housing challenges and share what services are most important in your neighborhood. The survey also includes a few general, confidential questions about your age range, household size, housing or business status and race/ethnicity (optional). Your responses will help shape the city’s Annual Action Plan for 2025-26 fiscal year and ensure federal resources are directed where they’re needed most.

TRANSFORMING THE CITY’S CYBERSECURITY CULTURE
Under the leadership of Chief Information Officer Hossam Reziqa, the city implemented cutting-edge training tools and proactive strategies to strengthen its defenses against cyber threats. Their work is being recognized for improving technical security and creating a culture of vigilance and accountability across all departments. Using the KnowBe4 platform, the city reduced staff’s vulnerability to phishing attacks from over 12% to just 2%, while also achieving 100% security policy acceptance. We applaud the IT department for their leadership in keeping our systems — and our community — secure.
