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.
