Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider action to approve a resolution regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2022.
Summary
The CDBG program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled communities to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The City of Pflugerville became an entitlement community in 2013 and developed the first 5-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan at that time.

The Consolidated Plan is designed to aid local jurisdictions in assessing their housing and community development needs and priorities. The priorities established by the Consolidated Plan are carried out through actions and activities each year as established in the Annual Action Plan.
The proposed 2022 Action Plan will be available for public viewing beginning, Friday, June 24 through Monday, July 26, at the following link https://www.pflugervilletx.gov/cdbg.
The allocated funding available for actions and activities for the 2022 is $243,926.
