The State was impacted by Hurricanes Ike and Dolly and a significant tropical storm within a 52 day time frame. Hurricane Ike, the most damaging, was enormous, 900 miles wide, and the size of West Virginia. As it rolled across the Gulf of Mexico, Ike grew from a Category 2 storm to a powerful Category 4 that unleashed a 20-foot storm surge that engulfed Galveston and other coastal areas, proving to be the third-most destructive storm to hit the United States. Hurricane Dolly, although less damaging only in absolute terms, had already struck the south Texas coastline as a Category 2 hurricane. It was the most destructive storm to hit the Rio Grande valley in over four decades. ELIGIBLE COUNTIES: Hurricane Dolly (FEMA-1780-DR) and Hurricane Ike (FEMA-1791-DR) Anderson, Angelina, Aransas, Austin, Bowie, Brazoria, Brazos, Brooks, Burleson, Calhoun, Cameron, Cass, Chambers, Cherokee, Fort Bend, Galveston, Gregg, Grimes, Hardin, Harris, Harrison, Hidalgo, Houston, Jasper, Jefferson, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Marion, Matagorda, Milam, Montgomery, Morris, Nacogdoches, Newton, Nueces, Orange, Panola, Polk, Refugio, Robertson, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, San Patricio, Shelby, Smith, Starr, Trinity, Tyler, Upshur, Victoria, Walker, Waller, Washington, Wharton, Willacy. Recovery Needs: On November 28, 2008, HUD made an initial one-third allocation to Texas for $1,314,990,193 in disaster recovery supplemental funds from the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Program for public infrastructure, economic development, and housing needs as a result of natural disasters that occurred in 2008 in the State of Texas, namely Hurricanes Dolly and Ike. These funds will be allocated among 11 regions in the affected areas of the state based upon FEMA damage assessments as of December 1, 2008 under the following activities: Housing $622,752,828 47.36% Non-Housing Infrastructure $587,328,615 44.66% Economic Development $2,600,000 0.20% Planning $36,559.240 2.78% State Administration $65,749,510 5.00% Housing Activities will be managed by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), while Non-Housing Infrastructure, Economic Development and Planning Activities will be managed by the Office of Rural Community Affairs (ORCA). Project identification and funding amounts for eligible activities will be determined by local leaders through regionally developed Methods of Distribution. Grants will be awarded for two year periods beginning in mid 2009. Demonstration of Projected Unmet Needs The State of Texas, following the extraordinarily difficult 2008 hurricane season, prepared the Texas Rebounds report to estimate the financial impact of Hurricanes Dolly and Ike. This report broke the financial needs to achieve complete recovery into several categories. The report indicates a total of $29.4 billion is needed to meet the needs presented by Hurricanes Dolly and Ike. To date, the State of Texas has been allocated only $3.1 billion in CDBG disaster recovery funds and in combination with FEMA funds, SBA efforts, and other assistance, still does not fulfill the financial needs to achieve long-term sustainable and resilient recovery. The findings of this are summarized in Table 3 of the State of Texas Plan for Disaster Recovery &ndash Amendment No. 1. Eligibility of infrastructure activities was determined using various methodologies that utilized appraisal district information, the US Geological Survey (USGS) National Land cover Database 2001, and grant application project descriptions and engineering estimates. Pro-rata determinations for DREF eligibility were then based on residential benefit as determined via base data on residential properties (which 2 Community Development Systems Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR) includes parcels, acres, and/or structures) and proportionate benefit of risk-reducing expansion above and beyond baseline reconstruction. The methodology explanations may be obtained by contacting the Texas Department of Rural Affairs (TDRA). Overall This Report Period To Date Total Projected Budget from All Sources N/A $1,501,162,163.56 Total Budget ($5,601,964.46) $1,501,162,163.56 Total Obligated $175,679,076.56 $1,489,169,591.62 Total Funds Drawdown $99,531,362.50 $534,237,786.03 Program Funds Drawdown $99,531,362.50 $534,234,786.03 Program Income Drawdown $0.00 $3,000.00 Program Income Received $0.00 $3,000.00 Total Funds Expended $99,531,326.54 $534,234,786.03 Match Contributed $0.00 $0.00 Progress Toward Required Numeric Targets Requirement Required To Date Overall Benefit Percentage (Projected) 71.24% Overall Benefit Percentage (Actual) 65.31% Minimum Non-Federal Match $0.00 $0.00 Limit on Public Services $467,020,928.40 $43.30 Limit on Admin/Planning $155,673,642.80 $78,851,449.03 Limit on State Admin $0.00 $47,361,629.24 Progress Toward Activity Type Targets Activity Type Target Actual Affordable Rental Housing (KRW and Ike Grants $348,708,959.87 $169,791,313.00 Progress Toward National Objective Targets National Objective Target Actual Low/Mod $1,556,736,428.00 $975,320,728.72 Overall Progress Narrative: GENERAL INFORMATION: >The Texas General Land Office (GLO) continues to improve Disaster Recovery efficiencies by consolidating both the Housing and Non-Housing Disaster Recovery Activities under a single agency. During the current reporting period (January 1 &ndash March 31, 2012) GLO has moved fully into Round 2 activities, developing new Standard Operating Procedures and internal processes to make recovery efforts move more quickly while allowing local control as much as possible. GLO has taken steps to improve administration and project delivery of Housing activities in communities in which those grants were making little or no progress, and continues to closely monitor the progress of Non-Housing activities by imposing a February 2012 deadline for any new Round 1 activities so that awarded grant funds do not sit idle while other communities fall short of funding needs. A workshop was scheduled for the first week of April, 2012 for GLO to meet with current and prospective disaster recovery grant recipients to discuss progress on current projects, as well as provide guidance for changes that will be coming with the second 3 Community Development Systems Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR) round of grants. All Ike/Dolly Disaster Recovery projects are scheduled for completion by December 31, 2015. >NON-HOUSING ACTIVITIES: >Non-Housing Round 1 &ndash >There are two hundred thirty (230) Infrastructure and Economic Development grantees under Round 1 totaling approximately $615.6 million. As of the end of this reporting period, nearly twenty five percent (25%) of those grantees have completed their funded activities and their grants have been Administratively Closed by GLO. Round 1 Grantees have been given a deadline of February 1, 2012 to identify any additional Non-Housing activities they hope to complete. As grantees complete their projects, the unutilized funds are being recorded and tracked so that the funds may be re-distributed to other eligible projects within the Regional Methods of Distribution. The majority of Round 1 Grantees continue working toward completion of their funded projects. Bids have been awarded on nearly all projects and construction is well underway on most. Some grantees have requested and received extensions on their original contracts up to December 31, 2015. Expenditures through March 31, 2012 for Round 1 Non-Housing Activities total approximately $248.7 million, or 40.40% of the amount funded. Non-Housing Round 2.1&ndash >The first phase of Round 2 Non-Housing grants are referred to as Round 2.1.There have been forty nine (49) Round 2.1 awards to various grantees for Non-Housing Activities totaling approximately $181.8 million. As of this reporting period end, all forty nine (49) grantees have their contracts fully executed and work orders for State contracted Vendor Services are being created and routed so that activities can begin. All of these grants are being issued with an end date of December 31, 2015. Expenditures through March 31, 2012 for Round 2.1 Non-Housing Activities total approximately $781,000 or 0.43% of the amount funded. Non-Housing Round 2.2 &ndash >The remainder of Round 2 Non-Housing grants will be issued as Round 2.2. As of the end of this reporting period, all applications for Non-Housing Round 2.2 awards have been received. GLO and their support staff continue with application reviews. Round 2.2 Non-Housing awards will begin in the next reporting period. HOUSING ACTIVITIES: >Housing Round 1 &ndash >Single Family Housing Activities &ndash There are eighteen (18) Round 1 Single Family Housing grants totaling approximately $451.6 million. The grants cover all three National Objectives and fund activities for Homeowner Rehab, Reconstruction, Down-payment Assistance, Demolition and Acquisition projects. Sub-recipients continue working toward completion of their program goals. GLO has taken a very active roll with the local Administration and Project Delivery tasks within Round 1 Housing Grants. The Housing Grant Management firm for the City of Galveston has been replaced with a State contracted firm in order to expedite activities.
