Major milestones for the application process will be as follows (more detail will be added as the board makes decisions about the program):
- August – applications due

- January – first funding payment
- May – second funding payment

As a reminder, the San Marcos City Council annually allocates monies from the General Fund to assist programs of local social services agencies. City funding may not exceed 50 percent of the funding sources for applicants.
The Council also allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to agencies through a separate process. It is the City’s policy that each program can be funded during any fiscal year from only one City funding source, so agencies may submit only one application per program to the City funding source of their choice. An agency may submit applications for multiple programs to the same funding source. For questions, please contact Christina Tureaud at 512.393.8170.
