The Texas Community Development Block Grant
(TXCDBG) Program All incorporated cities and counties in the SPAG region are eligible for these funds, with the exception of the City of Lubbock, an entitlement city that receives a direct allocation of CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In the SPAG region, the Community Development Block Grant program focuses on providing basic infrastructure to rural communities. Projects given top funding priority include water and sewer system improvements. Annually, each of the 24 planning regions
in the state receive a formula-based allocation of funds for
which applicants can compete. The CDBG applications are scored at the local
level by the Regional Review Committee (RRC). The RRC is a 12-member committee composed of local elected
officials appointed by the governor. The RRC score is combined
with a State Review Committee score to get a final ranking of CDBG
applications. Grants are awarded to the highest ranking cities
or counties.
Projects are funded until all available money is expended from that
cycle. |
