RE: P. R #25056-Rescission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Subrecipient Award to Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas and Reallocation of Funds to the
Housing Assistance Infrastructure Project
Introduction:
This Agenda Item seeks the City Council's approval of P.R. #25056 to rescind and reallocate the
$30,000 Community Development Block Grant funds allocated to the Catholic Charities of
Southeast Texas (ACCOUNT NUMBER 105-13-033-00-40-000; PROJECT # CD25107-GRE-
OCS) and transfer the funding to the Housing Assistance Infrastructure Project (ACCOUNT
NUMBER 105-13-033-5470-00-40-000; PROJECT#CD24118).
Background:
On February 11, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-053 approving ten (10)
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) subrecipient agreements for the 2025-2026
Program Year.One of the approved awards allocated$30,000.00 to Catholic Charities of Southeast
Texas to support operations of its Hospitality Center Soup Kitchen, which provides services
benefiting low- and moderate-income residents of the City of Port Arthur.
Following Council approval, Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas notified the City that it has
elected to decline the CDBG award due to the eligibility verification requirements associated with
accepting and administering CDBG funding. The correspondence declining the award is attached
as Exhibit "A."
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued policy guidance
requiring recipients of certain federal public benefits to use the Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE) Verification System or another federally approved verification system to
verify eligibility for those benefits. Although the Houston HUD Field Office has advised the City
that implementation of the SAVE verification requirement is not currently mandatory for the City's
CDBG Program, Catholic Charities has chosen not to accept the grant under these conditions.
Because the subrecipient has declined the award, the$30,000.00 previously allocated to Catholic
Charities is available for reallocation to another eligible CDBG activity.
Budget Impact:
P. R.#25056
07/13/2026 M. Essex-TNR
The proposed action does not require any additional appropriation of funds. It reallocates
$30,000.00 in existing 2025-2026 Community Development Block Grant funds from the Catholic
Charities subrecipient award to the Housing Assistance Infrastructure Project.
Recommendation:
The proposed resolution rescinds the portion of Resolution No. 26-053 that awarded $30,000.00
to Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas under Account No. 105-13-033-00-40-000, Project No.
CD25107-GRE-OCS, and reallocates those funds to the City of Port Arthur Housing Assistance
Infrastructure Project,Account No. 105-13-033-5470-00-40-000, Project No. CD24118.
The Housing Assistance Infrastructure Project is an eligible CDBG activity that supports the
development of affordable housing by funding infrastructure improvements such as water and
sewer line extensions, sidewalks, driveways, and other related site improvements.

Hi Mary and good afternoon!After much deliberation and prayer, I am writing to let you know I will not be signing the
contract for the CDBG Program Year 2025 grant award because of the newness and uncertainty around the
implementation of Exhibit F and its requirements.
I understand you have stated by email that Exhibit F will not be enforced. However, because this statement is not part
of the written contract, as long as that attachment is a part of the contract, under Section 23, I would be promising to
perform in accordance with its terms.

We are grateful to have been selected to receive the funding but respectfully decline for this year.

Good morning,
At this time,enforcement of the federal SAVE(Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements)verification system is not required
for the Community Development Block Grant contract. However,Exhibit F of the contract states that the SAVE verification is
required,and it will be enforced in the near future. The contract does not say the SAVE system isn't required.

Please see the attached 2025 CDBG contract for Catholic Charities. Item#8 on the last page of the contract(Exhibit F)
references the SAVE verification system. Presently,the SAVE verification system is not required;however,the Department of

system.

HOME Investment Partnerships(HOME) $321,504.70
Total FY 2025 Award $1,328,270.70
Federal Award Agreement

for ensuring that all grant funds are used in accordance with all program requirements.By
executing the Federal Award Agreement,you are entering into a legally binding agreement with
HUD to use the awarded funds and carry out the funded activities in accordance with all Federal
statutes,regulations, Federal Register notices,and award terms and conditions that apply to those

HUD recognizes that federal courts including the U.S.District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode
Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, et al. v. Kennedy, et al., 1:25-cv-00342(D.R.I.)
have issued injunction orders which now impact all CPD Federal Award Agreements and
grantees. To preserve all legal rights and defenses,the enclosed agreement contains the same
conditions at issue in those orders. For grantees who are plaintiffs covered by those orders or for
non-plaintiff grantees who are otherwise covered by those orders, be advised that HUD will
comply with all applicable injunction orders and will not implement or enforce the challenged
conditions consistent with those orders while those orders are in effect.This will include HUD
disregarding any"certifications"or"compliance"statements as covered by those orders. •
Accordingly,kindly return an executed copy of the Federal Award Agreement,as discussed
below, and HUD will make grant funds at issue in your agreement available.Please be further
advised that should the injunction order that currently prohibits HUD from enforcing the
challenged conditions as to your grant or award be stayed, dissolved,or reversed,the agreement,
with the challenged conditions,will become effective.

agreement,even if no indirect costs will be charged under the grant.Please mark one(and only
