Community Development and Housing

Bexar County receives annual funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development and Housing (CDH) program. The CDH program is focused on the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities. CDH activities must benefit persons of low to moderate income. CDH national objectives for the use of funds are 1) benefit low and moderate income persons, 2) aid the prevention of slum and blight or 3) meet an urgent need. More information is located on HUD’s CDH website.

Bexar County uses CDH funds in its unincorporated area or in the participating cities listed below.

Applications for CDH funds are made available in January. Applications must be submitted at a scheduled public hearing.
