Plans and Reports to HUD
Get Involved
We encourage you to actively participate and make your voice heard in the development of our five-year Strategic Plan. Your involvement is essential as we work together to shape our community’s future. We invite you to take the community needs survey, attend a public meeting, or even ask a member of our HCD staff to join your planned community gathering.
Most of our work is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD requires certain plans and reports to ensure that our work meets federal standards.
The amount of these grants, called “entitlement grants” is determined by Houston’s population. As many of our programs are funded through these sources, we produce regular plans and reports to explain our processes and outcomes.
HCD receives four HUD grants on an annual basis:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
- HOME Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME)
- Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Grant (HOPWA)
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)

Neighborhood Stabilization Program
The City of Houston was also granted two rounds of funding through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which aims to address foreclosures, increase homeownership, expand home affordability, and remove blight. HCD has used these funds to acquire and rehabilitate single family and multifamily properties, with a focus on providing homes to low- and moderate-income residents.
For the first round of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (referred to as NSP1), the City was awarded $13.5 million. The third round of the program (referred to as NSP3) added $3.4 million to this amount.
We record our progress and expenditures for this program in quarterly reports, which can be viewed in the table below.
