Texas GLO Announces $59+ Million in Awards for 2024 Disasters Local Communities Program

Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., is pleased to announce the Texas General Land Office (GLO) has approved $59,742,000 in projects through the Local Communities Program (LCP). The program funds projects to restore public infrastructure, strengthen local economies, and address long-term needs to help eligible communities recover from the 2024 Disasters.

"The Texas General Land Office is honored to support communities as they recover and grow,” said Commissioner Buckingham. “In 2024, many Texas communities experienced devastating storms that damaged homes and vital infrastructure. These Local Communities Program grants will restore and improve essential infrastructure, boost economic stability, and meet the ongoing needs of regions affected by the 2024 Disasters." 

The funding is provided by a Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The competition was open to local governments (city or county) or Indian tribes located in one of the 92 counties designated as eligible by HUD. HUD designated 27 counties as most impacted or distressed (MID) and requires at least 80% of program funds be granted to HUD MID applications.

Full eligibility requirements, eligible activities, and scoring details are provided in the GLO’s 2024 Disasters Action Plan at recovery.texas.gov/24d-actionplan.
