Texas Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG)

What is the Texas Rural Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG?)
Deadline: May 2024

TxCDBG is a funding opportunity ​provided by the Texas Department of Agriculture. 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. The program seeks to develop housing opportunities, suitable living environments, and economic development for primarily low- to moderate-income (LMI) persons.
Maximum Award Amount: $500,000
Evaluation and Selection: All applicants must refer to the Community Development Fund Application Guide for complete details and information.
Community Development Fund scoring is governed by the provisions of the TxCDBG Action Plan.

 Fair Housing in Texas
The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) and the Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program are committed to affirmatively furthering Fair Housing in conjunction with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).

Because this goal is central to the TxCDBG program, TDA requires general local governments applying for TxCDBG funds to affirmatively further Fair Housing. For more information click on the link: https://texasagriculture.gov/Grants-Services/Rural-Economic-Development/-TxCDBG-Rural-Community-Development-Block-Grant/TxCDBG-Program-Overview/Fair-Housing-in-Texas
April is National Fair Housing Month!
This year, we commemorate the 56th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act, the landmark civil rights law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968, that made discrimination in housing transactions unlawful. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, and familial status. This year’s Fair Housing Month theme is “Fair Housing: The ‘Act’ in Action.” For more information about your fair housing rights, visit FHEO's website.
Follow the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity on Twitter and Facebook for additional news and updates.
