Under the provisions of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 USC 5301), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs to support the development of viable urban communities. These programs aim to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities—primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals. Since 2006, Travis County has received CDBG funds annually and, in 2024, began receiving HOME funds. Community engagement and public participation remain essential goals of both programs.The CDBG/HOME Office is proposing substantial amendments to the PY24–28 Consolidated Plan, the PY24 Action Plan, and the PY25 Action Plan. The amendments include incorporating Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding as required by 24 CFR 91.200(b); expanding program priorities to allow for a broader range of eligible activities that address current community needs; removing an infeasible CDBG project and reallocating those funds in accordance with HUD regulations and program requirements; and revising a PY25 infrastructure project to shift funding from design and engineering to construction based on the updated project scope.To comply with the County’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) and 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91, Travis County must provide a 30-day public comment period and hold at least one public hearing to receive comments on the proposed substantial amendments to the PY24–28 Consolidated Plan, the PY24 Action Plan, and the PY25 Action Plan.On May 12, 2026, the Court approved a public comment period to be held from June 17, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. to July 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and a public hearing to be held on July 14, 2026. During this time, residents, community organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders will have an opportunity to submit comments in writing by postal mail or email, or provide comments at the public hearing.Following consideration of all public comments received, the proposed substantial amendments will be presented to the Court on August 4, 2026, for final approval and subsequently sub
