Who Applies for CDBG Funds?
The proposed allocation for the CDBG Program Year 2023 is $1,172,535.00
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 2024 and the Five-Year CPS Plan will submit both plans to the City Commission approved Plan by August 15, 2024.
The 30-day Comment Period begins approximately June 15, 2024, and ends on July 15, 2024. For a list of the 2024 Action Plan recommendations, please look for the 30-day Comment Period notice to be published on the City’s Public Library, DRC, City Hall Bulletin Board as well as the City’s Website. For more information on the Action Plan 2024, call the GMCD office at (956) 402-4190, Ext.1604.
