The Mitigation Reallocation Program (MRP) is a strategic effort to ensure mitigation funding continues to strengthen Texas communities. Through the MRP, communities will be able to apply for funding for mitigation activities such as flood and drainage improvements, water system improvements, wastewater improvements, street improvements and permanently affixed emergency communications equipment that reduce the impacts of future hurricanes, storms and flooding.
The MRP is funded with unutilized and deobligated Community Development Block Grant for Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds from HUD. All mitigation eligible counties will be able to apply for the MRP and will be considered based on the criteria identified in the action plan amendment.
The MRP reinforces the GLO’s commitment to helping Texans prepare, withstand, and recover from disasters with stronger, more resilient systems in place.
The eligible entities for the MRP are:
- Units of local government (cities and counties);
- Indian Tribes; and
- Special purpose districts:
- Municipal utility districts;
- Water control and improvement districts;
- Special utility districts;
- Flood and drainage districts;
- Navigation districts;
- Port authorities; and
- River authorities.
