Discuss and take appropriate action on Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This request is to determine if the Commissioners Court will accept or decline ESG and HOME funds from HUD. The county received funding notification on May 14, 2025, and has 30 days to respond. The county is currently developing the CDBG Annual Action Plan. This plan should include information regarding these funds IF the county chooses to accept them. Understanding how the court would like to proceed with ESG and HOME funds will allow for a more efficient process and submission of the Action Plan to HUD by the required deadline.
