Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded the Texas General Land Office $26.39 million in Community Development Block Grants/State's program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii (CFDA 14.228) funds on December 11, 2025. This Project Grant, with an ultimate completion date of December 11, 2031, provides disaster recovery and mitigation funding to support long-term recovery activities in presidentially declared disaster areas. The award enables the Texas General Land Office to assist communities recovering from qualifying disasters through a range of eligible activities including infrastructure restoration, housing recovery and rehabilitation, economic revitalization, and disaster mitigation projects, with particular emphasis on benefiting low- and moderate-income populations.

As the grantee, the Texas General Land Office must develop a comprehensive Action Plan outlining how the funding will be allocated across recovery programs, subject to public comment and HUD approval. The funds may be deployed for direct or indirect disaster-related activities within designated presidentially declared areas. The grantee is required to maintain compliance with Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, submit required certifications and action plans to HUD for review, and retain records demonstrating compliance for three years following completion reporting.
