Texas General Land Office recently gave approval for an additional year of funding.

Alternative Options:

Not amending the agreement would cause disruption and loss of capacity to continue implementation operations of disaster recovery efforts jeopardizing delivery of assistance to eligible applicants, negatively impacting achievement of milestones issued by the Texas General Land Office, thus, jeopardizing associated CDBG-DR grant funds for Harvey recovery efforts.
