Community Development

The Texas Community Development Block Grant Program (TxCDBG) plays a critical role in helping smaller communities in our region meet infrastructure needs in low- to-moderate income areas. Administered statewide by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), TxCDBG is the Community Development Block Grant Program for rural communities.

Communities that are eligible for the TxCDBG funding are called non-entitlement communities, which are cities with populations under 50,000 and counties with a non-metropolitan population under 200,000. They are called non-entitlement because entitlement areas are eligible for funding from the federal Community Development Block Grant through HUD. Feel free to contact NCTCOG staff with eligibility questions.

At the regional level, NCTCOG assists TDA in the administration of the TxCDBG Community Development Fund (CDF or CDV). The CDV provides grant funding to cities and counties for water, sewer, housing, and other improvements.

Please visit TDA’s CDBG Announcements page for recent news about the program. For more information, visit the links below or contact Erin Blackman at eblackman@nctcog.org or 817-608-2360.
