Commissioners approve HUD allocations, reprogramming and support Habitat's homebuilding plan
Summary
Bexar County approved staff recommendations to allocate CDBG, HOME and ESG funds for program year 2026'27, including reprogramming $300,309 to a Precinct 4 infrastructure project and a HOME commitment to Habitat for Humanity for a 47-home development; Habitat thanked the county for prior $2 million support.
Robert Reyna of the county's Economic and Community Development Department (speaker 21) presented staff's preliminary selections for CDBG, HOME and ESG funding for program year 2026'27 and explained a $300,309.01 reprogramming of underutilized administrative funds to a Precinct 4 public works infrastructure project. Reyna walked the court through recommended infrastructure and public-service awards and identified set-asides for administration.
Michael Taylor, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio (speaker 22), asked the court to fund acquisition and public-infrastructure support that will enable the nonprofit to develop 47 single-family homes within walking distance of neighborhood schools. "Bexar County contributed $2,000,000 in SLPF and ARPA funds for the acquisition of land and installation of utilities for this 23-home neighborhood," Taylor said, underscoring prior county support and asking for continued assistance. After discussion, Commissioner Clay Flores moved approval of the combined B-1 and B-2 items; the court voted to approve the recommendations on the record.
