Special City Council Meeting - June 16, 2026

The City of Killeen held a special city council meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the citizen comment period for the annual action plan involving community development block grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME ARP) funds. Staff presented details on the grant applications received, funding recommendations, and the proposed public comment period from June 22 to July 28, 2026. The council discussed the use of funds, including allocations for affordable housing, supportive services, and non-congregate shelters targeting vulnerable populations. No votes were taken during this meeting, but the council planned to consider funding recommendations in a future meeting after the public comment period concludes. Additionally, public comments addressed concerns about communication and outreach to non-English speaking residents regarding health and safety notices, with council members encouraging community input on potential funding uses to assist affected families.
