TDHCA, on behalf of the State of Texas, has accepted a second special allocation of Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (RUSH) funding. This funding is provided under the ESG Program, and is in response to the President's major disaster declarations dated July 9, 2024, DR-4798-TX, for Hurricane Beryl, May 17, 2024, DR-4781-TX, for severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) determination that these disasters were severe enough to activate its TSA program.

The provided edits to the 2024 One-year Action Plan reflect the intended uses of funds received by the State of Texas from HUD under the ESG RUSH funding announcement published in the Federal Register edition dated July 18, 2024.
