Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Partnership Investment (HOME) funds to the City
for the primary benefit of low and moderate income persons/families. The City is obligated to
provide owner-occupied rehabilitation/reconstruction assistance to homeowners with unmet
housing needs who are at 80% or below the Area Median Income, to eliminate health and
safety hazards, preserve and improve the community's housing stock.
The City advertised in the Port Arthur News on August 1 & August 8, 2018. Three (3) bids
were received on August 22, 2018 for the reconstruction of three (3) houses for low and
moderate income persons/families at the locations listed below. The bids were evaluated
