Travis County presents CDBG programs; Bee Cave residents urged to complete needs survey
Summary
Travis County CDBG planners briefed the council on the Community Development Block Grant program, noting it funds infrastructure, housing rehab (up to $24,999 per household) and new homebuyer assistance; county staff encouraged residents to complete a community needs survey and use an interactive map to check eligibility.
Travis County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) staff presented an overview of the federal program and ways Bee Cave residents and organizations can engage. Michaela Manion, a Travis County planner, said the county's annual CDBG allocation "averages about $1.7 million annually," and described eligible uses that include sidewalks, drainage and inclusive playgrounds.
The presentation highlighted a home‑rehab program that offers repairs of up to $24,999 per household and a separate homebuyer assistance program expected to launch mid‑year to help with down payments and closing costs. Staff encouraged the council and residents to complete the county's community needs survey, use the interactive map tool to check neighborhood eligibility, and consider targeted income surveys for specific project areas. County planners offered to provide past survey results for Bee Cave and to meet with neighborhood groups about potential applications.
