Fiscal Year 2026 (Program Year 2025) Action Plan and Budget
Overview
The City of San Antonio receives four federal entitlement grants awarded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These four grants include:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

In August 2021, the City Council approved the five-year Consolidated Plan. Below are the priorities approved in the Consolidated Plan:
- Priority 1: Provide Decent Safe Affordable Housing
- Priority 2: Provide for Special Needs Populations
- Priority 3: Provide Housing and Supportive Services for Homeless Population
- Priority 4: Provide Neighborhood Revitalization Efforts
- Priority 5: Provide Economic Development
