As an entitlement city, the City of Pueblo is required by the U.S. Department of Housing

th
facility located at 710 W 4 Street into the FY2020 Annual Action Plan and reallocates
$400,000.00 of CDBG-CV Grant funding. The adoption of the substantial amendment
to the FY2020 Annual Action Plan and accompanying documentation serves to amend
the City’s original application to HUD for the FY2020 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Act Grant (HOME).
