NOTICE OF 15-DAY COMMENT PERIOD COMMENCING NOVEMBER 22, 2025 AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON DECEMBER 16, 2025 The City of Victoria is an entitlement city under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. As a result, the City receives annual allocations of federal CDBG funds for a variety of community needs. According to federal guidelines (24 CFR 91.105), all CDBG entitlement communities must conduct a public comment period and public hearing to obtain citizen input regarding the performance of the CDBG program. As part of this process, a document is required by HUD called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The report contains three basic elements: 1) a summary of resources and programmatic accomplishments, 2) the status of actions taken during the year, and 3) an evaluation of progress made during the past year in addressing identified priority needs objectives. All activities undertaken with CDBG funds from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 are covered in this report. Considerable effort has been undertaken by the City to draft a document, which is accessible, informative, and useable for city residents and local public and private organizations. However, the reader should be aware that the report contains certain forms and tables prescribed by HUD. Comments and views expressed by citizens will be attached to the final performance report. A copy of the CAPER is available for inspection in the Development Services office, located at 700 Main Center, Suite 129; at the Victoria Public Library; and online: www.victoriatx.gov. A Public Hearing to hear citizen input on the proposed CAPER will be held December 16, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., in person at 107 W. Juan Lynn Street (Council Chambers). Any questions or inquiries about this meeting are welcome and should be directed to the Development Services Department, 700 Main Center, Suite 129, Victoria, TX, (361) 485-3360. Formal, written comments may be mailed to the Development Services Department, P.O. Box 1758, Victoria, TX 77902 or emailed to zwendel@victoriatx.gov. All comments should be received by 4:00 p.m. on December 9, 2025. The CAPER will be submitted to HUD on or about December 29, 2025.
