The State of Texas Did Not Follow Requirements for its Infrastructure and Revitalization Contracts Funded With DCBG Disaster Recovery Program Funds
We audited the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2008 Disaster Recovery assistance for Hurricane Ike and other disasters, administered by the Texas Department of Rural Affairs (the State). Our objective was to determine whether the State administered HUD’s Disaster Recovery funds used for infrastructure and revitalization contracts in compliance with the supplemental appropriations requirements, HUD’s policies, and the State of Texas’ Disaster Recovery action plan.
