Neighborhood Services Community Meeting to discuss funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Grant

Tyler Neighborhood Services is hosting three community meetings to discuss funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Grant over the next five years. 

The meetings will be held on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, April 16, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at St. Louis Baptist Church, 4000 Frankston Hwy.
  • Wednesday, April 17, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Tyler Public Library, 201 S. College Ave.
  • Thursday, April 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Glass Recreation Center, 501 W. 32nd St.

As part of the public outreach about CDBG and HOME Grant funding, the department is asking community members to complete a survey to identify where the funds should be utilized. 

CDBG funds and HOME Grant funds are monies allocated from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to aid low-to-moderate-income families and revitalize neighborhoods. The exact grant amounts have yet to be announced. Public input on how these funds should be spent in Tyler neighborhoods is important. 

The following is a list of eligible activities within the CDBG program:

  • Acquisition of Real Property
  • Disposition
  • Public Facilities and Improvements
  • Clearance and/or Demolition
  • Public Services
  • Interim Assistance
  • First-Time Homebuyer
  • Affordable Housing
  • Rehabilitation
  • Reconstruction
  • Minor/Critical Repair
  • Architectural Barrier Removal
  • Addressing Homelessness
  • Homeownership Assistance Planning and Capacity Building Program
  • Administration Costs

Staff will be at the meetings to answer questions and provide information. Questions and comments can be submitted through the Contact Us form on the Neighborhood Services website.
