Cande’s Way Minor Home Repair Program

How it works

The City of New Braunfels administers Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and includes Cande’s Way as a subrecipient for its Minor Home Repair Program. The page says the city awards CDBG funds to eligible subrecipients to carry out approved activities that meet HUD requirements and community needs. For this program, the city identifies Cande’s Way as the operator and says the program is intended to help create a more suitable and sustainable home for eligible homeowners.

What the money covers

The page lists the following eligible activities for the program:

• weatherization
• ADA improvements, including ramps and bathroom remodels
• aging-in-place repairs
• other eligible minor home repairs

The city also says CDBG funds are used for program delivery costs and supplies needed for the home repairs.

Amounts and scope

The Program Year 2026 annual plan lists a CDBG allocation of $55,685 for Cande’s Way. The city estimates that about five low- and moderate-income homeowners will benefit from the program during PY25/PY26 planning materials referenced on the page. The page does not state a per-homeowner award limit or matching requirement.

How to apply

The official page points to the city’s CDBG program materials and to documents related to the Cande’s Way notice and release-of-funds process, but it does not provide a standalone homeowner application form, application steps, or a direct application link in the text reviewed.

Timing and deadlines

The CDBG program year runs from October 1 through September 30. For PY26, the city says applications to request funding were available to eligible recipients from 2026-02-10 through 2026-03-13, and late submissions were not accepted. The page also notes a target date of 2026-09-30 for the project and says the PY26 grant period runs from 2026-10-01 to 2027-09-30.
