About the plans
Travis County is eligible to receive an estimated $896,341 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to benefit Travis County low- to moderate-income residents who live in the unincorporated areas of the county or the Village of Webberville.
The 2012 Action Plan is for the program year 2012 which goes from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013.
Travis County is also proposing amendments to two plans, adding the Village of Webberville to the PY11-PY13 Consolidated Plan to add the Village of Webberville and amending its PY06-PY10 Action Plans to delete one project and to direct project savings totaling $227,937.96.
CDBG activities are aimed at revitalizing neighborhoods, improving affordable housing options and providing improved community facilities and services. You can comment on the proposed amendments, projects and actions by attending one of two public hearings or by sending your comments in writing via postal mail or e-mail.
