2018 FLOODS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) issued an initial allocation of $46,400,000 in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding for Cameron, Hidalgo and Jim Wells Counties in response to significant flooding in 2018. On December 3, 2019, HUD announces additional allocation of $26,513,000 bringing the total allocation to $72,913,000.

When will Texas receive the funds?

For Texas to receive these funds, HUD must publish rules governing the use of the recovery dollars in the Federal Register, which enables the Texas General Land Office (GLO) to draft a state action plan. Once drafted, the plan will be made available for a mandatory public comment period. After the comments are responded to, the state action plan is then sent to HUD for final approval. The federally mandated process takes a minimum of four months and has taken longer than six months in many cases.
