PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-03-31

The City Council voted to delay action on an ordinance that would amend Houston's 2021, 2022, and 2023 Annual Action Plans and revise budgets for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The item was postponed to the April 15, 2026 council agenda.

What it means for you

No decision was made yet on how federal CDBG funds — which typically support housing, infrastructure, and community services for low- and moderate-income residents — would be reallocated under the revised plans. Houston residents affected by those programs will need to wait until at least April 15, 2026 for a council vote.
