City of Marshall Community Development Block Grant housing activities

How it works

The City of Marshall receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The page explains that CDBG is an entitlement program that provides annual grants to cities and counties on a formula basis to support decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate-income people.

What the money covers

The page lists several eligible CDBG activities. For homeowners, the relevant items are:

• rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing
• energy efficiency improvements in owner-occupied homes

The page also lists other eligible activities at the city level, including public facility and infrastructure improvements, handicapped accessibility, nonprofit services, code enforcement, clearance and demolition, and business development/job creation. Those are not described as homeowner benefits on the page.

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a homeowner award amount, match requirement, reimbursement structure, or whether assistance is a grant versus another funding arrangement for homeowners.

How to apply

The page is a program overview. It mentions that each spring/summer the city prepares an Annual Action Plan and that the Community Development Advisory Committee and city determine funded activities, but it does not provide homeowner application steps on the page itself.

Timing and deadlines

The page says Program Year 2026 runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. It also states that a public hearing for CDBG Annual Action Plan public comment is scheduled for Monday, May 4, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 401 S. Alamo Blvd., Marshall, TX 75670.

The page also notes that public comment is open for the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report covering June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026, but it does not say that homeowner applications are open or closed.
