RE: Regional Mitigation Program- louston-Galveston Area Council MOD Funding Notification
Dear Mayor Cole:
The Texas General Land Office ((ILO) allocated $488,762,000,00 to the Houston-
Galveston Area Council (I I-GAC) to develop a method of distribution (MOD) for the Regional
Mitigation Program as part of the State of Texas Community Development Block Grant Mitigation
(CDBG-MIT) Action Plan as amended. 'I'hrough the preliminary II-(iAC MOD posted for public
comment, City of Pearland is included as a potential recipient of finding in the amount of
$14,008,900.00. This amount is subject to change as the public participation process is completed
and until final MOD approval by the GLO.
Due to CDBO-MIT grant requirements, the state is required to reach a certain threshold
tied to benefitting low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons, therefore $7,004,450.00 of your
funding must be used for projects that benefit ',MI persons in your community. Some State Most
Impacted & Distressed (MID) counties and cities with HUD MID ZIP codes received both State
MID and HUD MID allocations. Amounts from HUI) MID allocations can only he applied to
projects benefitting !IUD MID areas, For those cities and counties whose combined HUD MID
and State MID allocations are greater in total than $900,000.00, but whose allocation in either the
individual State MID or HUD MID allocation is less than $900,000.00, the allocation for the
ineligible category was added to their eligible category.
Harris County and its cities are excluded from this MOD as Harris County received a direct
allocation of$750,000,000.00 from Texas General Land Office. Your city's allocation excludes
the Harris County portion of the city. Harris County cities receiving initial allocations from
portions of their city in other counties may not use this allocation for Harris County projects. Funds
