The GLO and Long-Term RecoveryCDR
In 2011, the Governor designated the Texas General Land Office with responsibility for long-term disaster recovery for the State of Texas, through the administration of all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds.
CDBG – DR funds are a special appropriation from Congress, associated with a Presidentially Declared Disaster. (Approx. 15% of all Presidential Declarations receive Congressional Appropriations)
CDBG – DR funds must meet one of the following HUD designated National Objectives to be eligible for award:
•Benefiting Low-to-Moderate Income Persons•Preventing or Eliminating Slum or Blight•Meeting Urgent Needs

Community Development and RevitalizationCDR
Since 2011, GLO-CDR has successfully implemented projects and programs across Texas, utilizing more than $3.9 billion in HUD CDBG-DR funds.
These funds are helping Texans to recover from:
• Hurricanes Rita, Ike, and Dolly;• 2011 Wildfires; and• The 2015/2016 Weather/Flood Events.
CDR
CDBG-DR Funding ProcessCDR
President declares disaster IAW 1998 Stafford Act PL 100-707.
Congress appropriates funds to HUD for long-term disaster recovery.
HUD publishes Federal Register, allocating funds to impacted disaster States and outlining Congressional and HUD requirements and CDBG regulations.
The Governor designates GLO as the lead agency for CDBG-DR funds management.
GLO develops the State Action Plan and program design based on the published Federal Register and other applicable laws and regulations. The Action Plan allocates funds through the COGs.
COGs develop regional distribution plans based on needs, straight allocation, or competitive scoring application methodology .

2015 & 2016 Disasters ImpactCDR
GLO-CDR estimates a combined loss of over $2 billion in unmet long-term recovery needs when considering the impact of the multiple disasters suffered by Texas in both 2015 and 2016.
Unmet need is calculated using FEMA, SBA, applicant data, business interruption, economic losses, unemployment, lost property tax revenue, agricultural losses, and other measures and multiplier effects.
The 160 Texas counties impacted by these floods represent 76 percent of the Texas population or approximately 20.9 million people - a total population greater than that of 48 states.
The CDBG-DR allocation made to the State of Texas for the 2015 and 2016 floods totals $434.3 million with GLO-CDR administering $313.5 million of those funds.
