This award funds direct housing preservation services, including repair and rehabilitation assistance to very low- and low-income homeowners, rental property owners, and consumer cooperative housing projects in designated rural areas of Texas with concentrated substandard housing conditions.

This award represents the organization's second active prime grant under the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program, complementing a prior $120,000 award dated October 24, 2025. The organization's federal engagement is specialized and grant-focused, exclusively serving rural housing preservation initiatives in Texas through USDA Rural Housing Service programs.
