TxCDBG Community Development Fund 2027-2028 Regional Priorities
The Texas Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG) Community Development Fund is a grant program managed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). It provides funding every two years to cities with fewer than 50,000 residents and counties with fewer than 200,000 residents for projects that improve roads, water and sewer systems, public facilities, and other community infrastructure.
Applications for the FY 2027–2028 funding cycle will be scored on a 200-point scale. Up to 130 points (65%) will be based on statewide scoring criteria selected by the Unified Scoring Committee (USC). Another 50 points (25%) will be based on Regional Project Priorities established by each state planning region, and the remaining 20 points (10%) will be based on scoring factors adopted by TDA.
The USC, which includes representatives from each of Texas’ 24 state planning regions, will meet on September 2, 2026, to select the statewide scoring criteria for the 2027 funding cycle.
The 50 points available through Regional Project Priorities are based on priorities established by CTCOG for the seven-county region. Project activities placed in the First Priority Tier will receive the full 50 points. Activities placed in the Second or Third Priority Tiers will receive fewer points based on values established by the region. Activities that are not identified as regional priorities will receive 0 points in this scoring category.
CTCOG will hold a public meeting during the regular Executive Committee meeting on June 25, 2026, to gather public input on proposed Regional Project Priorities. After receiving public comments, the Executive Committee will consider and take action to determine which eligible project activities will be included in the First, Second, and Third Priority Tiers and establish the point values assigned to the Second and Third Tiers. These priorities and point values will be used to score grant applications submitted within the CTCOG seven-county region.
