CITY OF SAN MARCOS
There are many nonprofit organizations around town, which survive solely off of donations. A big boost comes in the form of a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Community Development Block Grant. The San Marcos City Council allocated $1,405,990 of CDBG funds to various nonprofit organizations in town at the regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.
San Marcos Housing and Community Development Manager Carol Griffith said the CDBG Draft Action Plan will be posted for public comment for 30 days. The staff will then bring the proposals back with the comments to the city council on Aug. 5 for final consideration. The council did not make changes to the recommended funding by city staff at Tuesday’s meeting.
