BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City anticipates receiving approximately $20.9 Million in federal entitlements awarded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grants include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and the HEARTH Emergency Solutions Grant (HESG). These funds are designed to meet the needs of persons who are of low and moderate income and for preserving and developing low-income communities. These federal entitlements require the development of an annual action plan that is informed by City of San Antonio citizens.
