These funds are primarily for projects that benefit San Marcos residents with low-to-moderate incomes.

The City is not accepting applications from individuals who need personal housing or other financial assistance.
National Objectives
All funded projects must also meet one of the three CDBG program National Objectives:
- Benefit low to moderate income individuals or families
- Eliminate slum or blight
- Urgent Need (such as disaster recovery)
Project Eligibility
Organizations may propose more than one program or project in separate applications.
High Priority Needs
Proposed projects must address one of the High Priority Needs. The following are currently established as High Priority Needs for the City of San Marcos, as stated in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan:
- Affordable Housing
- Public Services
- Public Facilities
Not everything in these categories can be funded through CDBG. Please refer to the Guide to National Objectives and Eligible Activities for CDBG Entitlement Communities for descriptions of projects that can be funded through CDBG.
Organization Eligibility Requirements
- Organizations applying for Public Services funding must be a public or private non-profit agency, a public housing authority, a City of San Marcos department, or other government entity.
- Non-profit agencies must be established, operating agencies as evidenced through documentation required in the application. Exhibits to show tax exempt status are required.
- Faith based agencies are eligible to apply on the same basis as other non-profit organizations. However, CDBG funds cannot be used to support worship, proselytizing, or religious instruction. Religious activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the CDBG supported activity. Participation in the religious activity must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the CDBG-funded project. Projects operated by faith-based agencies must be available to all community members and not restricted to the organization’s membership or congregation.
