| (a) The Department shall allocate the state's annual
CDBG grant and establish the funding of TxCDBG programs in accordance
with the state's annual action plan, which is available on the Department's
website and the HUD Exchange, HUD's online platform for program information,
guidance, and tools.
(b) For funds allocated to the Community Development
Fund category within the TxCDBG program, funds are allocated among
the twenty-four State planning regions based on a combination of the
following two formulas:
(1) Original CD formula, which takes into account the
following factors:
(A) Non-Entitlement Population;
(B) Number of Persons in Poverty;
(C) Percentage of Poverty Persons;
(D) Number of Unemployed Persons; and
(E) Percentage of Unemployed Persons; and
(2) HUD formula, which is the same methodology that
HUD uses to allocate CDBG funds among the States for use in non-entitlement
areas. The HUD factors, percentages, and methodology are specified
in 42 USC. §5306(d).
