San Antonio schedules Aug. 13 consideration of $41,637 CDBG reallocation
San Antonio City Council is scheduled to consider a proposed $41,637 reallocation of federal Community Development Block Grant funding on Aug. 13, 2026, after a public-comment period and hearing on the proposed budget amendment.
The proposal, known as Substantial Amendment No. 2 to the city’s FY2026/PY2025 Action Plan and Budget, would move the money from Public Services—Housing Support Programs to Public Services—Financial Education.
The reallocation remains proposed, not approved. The available notice identifies Aug. 13 as the scheduled council consideration date but does not report a final council vote or action.
Public comments and hearing
The City of San Antonio opened the public-comment period June 10. Comments on the amendment are due by Aug. 12, 2026.
A public hearing is scheduled for 5 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Municipal Plaza Building. Individuals may speak for up to three minutes, while groups may speak for up to nine minutes.
The notice identifies the comment period and hearing as part of a procedure required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The funding involved is Community Development Block Grant money, a federal program resource included in the city’s planning and budget process.
Residents can use the comment period or the hearing to weigh in before the council’s scheduled consideration the following day. The packet does not provide the content of public comments or indicate whether any changes to the proposal have been requested.
A narrow change in public-services funding
The amendment identifies a specific transfer between two public-services categories. It does not state that all housing services would lose funding, nor does it identify individual housing-support or financial-education programs that would receive less or more money.
Likewise, the available notice does not say how many people would be served by either category or how many beneficiaries could be affected by the proposed $41,637 shift. Those details would be needed to measure the program-level effect of the change.
The proposed action is a near-term city spending decision involving federal community-development funding. It would change the category assigned to the identified funds, from housing-support public services to financial-education services, if the council approves the amendment.
San Antonio’s adopted-budget materials describe the budget as the city’s financial and policy plan. The city budget calendar also lists Aug. 13 among August budget-related actions, providing the broader municipal-budget context for the scheduled council consideration.
What happens next
The Aug. 12 comment deadline and hearing are the last listed public-input steps before the Aug. 13 council date. No vote total is available because the proposal has not yet reached a reported final action.
Until council acts, the $41,637 reprogramming remains a proposed amendment rather than an implemented funding change.
