SAN ANGELO, TX – The City of San Angelo Community & Housing Support Division is beginning the process of formulating a five-year Consolidated Plan to identify housing and non-housing community needs and establish strategies for addressing those priority needs. A public hearing has been scheduled as listed below to obtain citizens’ views to respond to proposals and questions. This plan will guide the City in making allocations of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds during 2020-24.

The City of San Angelo has estimated that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will allocate approximately $660,662 for CDBG and $302,663 in HOME funds will be available to allocate to projects in grant year 2020.
