## Resource

El Paso is reallocating $2.5 million in federal housing funds—originally earmarked for first-time homebuyer assistance—to build and preserve affordable rental housing instead. This strategic shift doesn’t reduce total federal funding, just redirects existing resources to better meet current community needs. The move affects funds from 2019–2020 action plans and aims to use federal dollars more efficiently within required timelines. Public input is open until October 1 via email to DCHDFacilities@elpasotexas.gov, with a City Council hearing scheduled for September 15. The city offers language and accessibility support—contact DCHD at least 72 hours ahead if you need assistance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
