CDBG assists families through grants for homeowner housing rehabilitation, homeowner emergency repairs and demolition of substandard structures. The HOME program provides down payment and closing cost assistance for first-time homebuyers who are approved by a participating lender (see program brochure), and offers temporary tenant-based rental assistance through MHMR.
The implementation and operation of the CDBG and HOME programs conform to the policies and guidelines established by HUD and the City Council.
Atmos grant funding
The City of San Angelo has Atmos Energy grant funding to help with heater and water heater replacement for Atmos gas customers who meet income guidelines. Contact the Housing Division at 325-655-0824 for more information.
Low-income Housing Tax Credit program
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs makes funding available through tax credits for single- and multi-family rental construction projects. Credits are awarded through a competitive process. The state will award credits to only one project from this area, which includes Midland and Odessa. City political and financial support improves a project’s competitiveness and is often the deciding factor in which earns the tax credits.
Fair housing complaints
Federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability. If you have been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe your civil rights have been violated, you can contact the City’s fair housing officer Bob Salas at 325-655-0824. You can also visit this site if you are alleging a violation of HUD program regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and marital status.
