Upcoming Events
Our funding sources include Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program, both under the umbrella of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Our mission is to utilize these funds to enhance the Bryan community by developing and preserving affordable housing and promoting fair housing and neighborhood integrity.
Although many of our programs assist in providing services and facilities for low and moderate income citizens, and senior citizens, we also connect the entire community with valuable resources available in the City of Bryan.
