The Community Development Fund provides competitive biennial funding to rural Texas cities and counties for public facilities and infrastructure projects. Eligible activities include water and wastewater infrastructure, street and drainage improvements, housing activities, economic development, health facilities, fire stations, and parks. Funding is allocated across 24 state planning regions to support community development and improve local infrastructure.
Eligible applicants are rural cities with populations under 50,000 and counties with non-metropolitan populations under 200,000 that are not eligible for direct HUD CDBG funding.
