2019 Requests for Funding

The proposed allocation for the CDBG Program Year 2019 is $1,150,930.00

Applications are separated into the Public Service and Non-Public Service categories. Federal law caps the amount of CDBG funding that can be spent on Public Service projects at 15% of the City’s total allocation. Applications are then separated into subject categories for convenience; this separation is somewhat subjective as some applications do not fit easily into a category and/or span more than one category.

The City of Pharr is currently in the development of the Action Plan 2018 and the Four -Year CPS Plan will submit both plans to the City Commission approved Plan by August 15, 2019.

The 30-day Comment Period begins June 13th, 2019 and ends on July 12th, 2019.  For a list of the 2019 Action Plan recommendations, please look for the 30-day Comment Period notice to be published on the City’s Event Calendar, Television 12 and the City Hall Bulletin Board.  For more information on the Action Plan 2019, call the GMCD office at (956) 402-4190, Ext.1604.
