On September 3, 2024, the Texas General Land Office (GLO) posted amendments to six state action plans. Each of the amendments include the new Disaster Recovery Reallocation Program (DRRP), which will allow the GLO to utilize de-obligated and unutilized funds within each action plan. The comment periods for all amendments has closed. The GLO will respond to comments submitted and send the action plans to HUD for approval.
The six actions plans included in DRRP are:
- Hurricanes Ike and Dolly Amendment 7

- 2016 Floods and Storms Amendment 8
- Hurricane Harvey $5.6 Billion Amendment 16

The Disaster Recovery Reallocation Program (DRRP) is designed to utilize de-obligated and unutilized funds to provide the opportunity for communities with outstanding unmet need to access remaining CDBG-DR funds. The GLO will hold a webinar to provide information relating to the call for projects process and scoring criteria. The call for projects will be released Oct. 21 and close November 21, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time). Only projects submitted by this time will be eligible for scoring and potential funding.
