TDHCA, the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), and Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) prepared the Draft 2024 State of Texas Consolidated Plan: One-Year Action Plan (the Plan) in accordance with 24 CFR Section 91.320. TDHCA coordinates the preparation of the State of Texas Consolidated Plan documents. The Plan covers the State's administration of the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) by TDA, the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA) by DSHS, and the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, and the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) by TDHCA.

The Plan reflects the intended uses of funds received by the State of Texas from HUD for Program Year 2024. The Program Year begins on September 1, 2024, and ends on August 31, 2025. The Plan also illustrates the State's strategies in addressing the priority needs and specific goals and objectives identified in the 2020-2024 State of Texas Consolidated Plan.
