Program; authorizing the expenditure of Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds in a total
amount not to exceed $403,822.28 for projects meeting the program guidelines and eligibility criteria; and

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

DISCUSSION
On May 8, 2026, the Community Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) finalized their recommendations
to City Council for the 2026 Action Plan. All projects and programs to be approved by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the 2026 Action Plan are funded through Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and program income from
the use of these funds. In addition to federal funds, the City Council allocates General Fund dollars to
provide grants for social service agencies. The following narrative describes the recommendations from the
CSAC for estimated federal and general fund dollars available for the 2026-27 program year. (Exhibit 2)
CDBG Housing Program
The Minor Home Repair Program addresses urgently needed repairs of homes up to $24,500 for low and
moderate-income households. The program can stabilize a home within the city limits of Denton. The
program assists income qualified owners who cannot afford to complete the repairs themselves. Community
Development staff work with homeowners to determine the repairs that need to be completed on the
property. During the inspection, staff evaluate the condition of the home and the impact of not addressing
some of the necessary repairs.
CDBG Project Funding
Funding for CDBG projects is included in the 2026 Action Plan for Housing and Community Development
for program year October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. City Council approved the 2026 Action
Plan for Housing and Community Development with Ordinance No. 26-0944, on July 21, 2026. The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved the City’s 2026 Action Plan in
September 2026, and funds will become available in October 2026. The 2026 Action Plan includes funding
for the Minor Home Repair Program with a budget of $403,822.28 in Community Development Block
Grant funds to assist 38 households.

these repairs help create a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone.
Considerations will be given to:
x Safety-related repairs: These may involve addressing immediate threats to life or the health and
welfare of occupants, such as gas leaks, broken water lines, or unsafe heating/cooling systems.
x Essential System Repairs: These include repairs to major systems like roofing, plumbing, electrical,
and HVAC, especially if they are deemed necessary to make the home safe and habitable.
x Accessibility modifications: These modifications can help improve the livability of the home for
individuals with disabilities.
ELIGIBLE REPAIRS
Repairs that are urgently needed to make the housing accessible, safe, sanitary, or habitable or
modifications to achieve accessibility. City staff will evaluate the home to determine the extent of the
necessary repairs and whether the requested repairs are eligible.
x Repairsthat can be completed for $24,500 or less are eligible for assistance:
o Replacement of failed plumbing fixtures;
o Clogged/broken sewer lines;
o Damaged or exposed electrical wiring, switches, outlets;
o Leaking roofs;
o Broken HVAC system; and
o Repairs and/or modifications to a structure as necessary to improve accessibility to
accommodate a disability when other means are not available, i.e., building a wheelchair ramp,
widening doorways to rooms that must be accessible for living, etc.
Repairs up to $24,500 will be considered, but the full maximum amount of funding is not guaranteed.
The amount of the award will solely be determined by the City based on the repair(s) approved. If the
bid foran approved repair ismore than the maximum allowablefunds, the project may be eligible if the
homeowner can provide the additional funds.
Homeowner Insurance Claims: If a City-approved repair is only partially covered by a homeowner's
insurance, the City may help cover the remaining costs. To begin the work, the homeowner must sign
over their insurance claim payment(s) to the City of Denton. Here’s how it works:
1.The insurance funds will be deposited into an account.
2.Thesefunds will be used first to pay the contractor as work is approved.
3.If the homeowner has already used insurance funds for repairs, they must provide proof of payment
along with detailed documentation of the work done. The City will then determine if the repair is
eligible for additional assistance through the program.
