TxCDBG - Block Grant Program for Rural Texas
The Community Development Block Grant program is designed to develop viable communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environments while expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low- to moderate-income.
The Texas Department of Agriculture has announced the release of two new grant opportunities for Program Year 2025, the 2025 Community Development Fund (CDV) and 2025 Colonia Fund Construction Program (CFC). The deadline for these opportunities is December 9th, 2024. Please see the links below for more information. If you have any questions, please reach out to the PBRPC Regional Services department.
Eligible applicants are non-entitlement cities under 50,000 in population and non-entitlement counties that have a non-metropolitan population under 200,000 and are not eligible for direct CDBG funding from HUD. These eligible applicants may apply for funding through any of the Texas CDBG programs. Review more information about the TxCDBG program here.
HUD's Section 3 Business Registry FAQ
Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. The intent of Section 3 is to ensure that preference for employment, training, and contracting opportunities generated from the expenditure of certain HUD funds, is given to local low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who receive federal housing assistance, and businesses that are owned by or substantially employ such persons.
For more information on the requirements of Section 3, please visit www.hud.gov/Section3. If you are a recipient of government assistance for housing or if your income falls below HUD's income limits, you may qualify as a Section 3 worker, targeted worker or Section 3 business concern.
