Community Development Block Grant Program
The City of Kyle is now an Entitlement City in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. In December 2024, HUD approved the City’s first-ever 5-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. These plans outline potential projects that can be funded with CDBG money to improve the community.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, the City has been allocated $266,144 in CDBG funds. As part of the planning process, the City conducted a Needs Assessment survey to gather input from residents. The survey identified sidewalks as the top priority for improvement in the City.
The City will use CDBG funding in FY2025 to focus on improving sidewalks, especially in areas with low to moderate income, as required by HUD. City staff are currently identifying sections of sidewalk that are either missing or in need of repair or replacement in eligible neighborhoods. Once the sidewalk segments are chosen, the City will invite bids from qualified contractors to complete the work, helping to improve safety and accessibility for residents.
If you have any questions regarding the CDBG Program and how you can get involved, please contact Kaela Sharp at CDBG@cityofkyle.com.
