Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) administers substantial federal disaster recovery and mitigation funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including allocations under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) programs.
