Choice neighborhoods implementation grants

The City of Caney was awarded a $500,000 Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office. This federal grant, authorized under CFDA Number 14.889, supports the city's comprehensive efforts to transform a distressed housing area, improve resident outcomes, and catalyze community reinvestment over a 5-year period from January 30, 2024, to September 30, 2029.

The Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants program aims to replace severely deteriorated public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income developments, while simultaneously improving resident employment, health, and education outcomes, and enhancing overall neighborhood conditions. Through this award, the City of Caney will implement its strategic plan to redevelop the targeted housing site, relocate residents, demolish existing units, construct new mixed-income housing, and provide supportive services to address the needs of the community.
