\[Date\] <br /> <br />Mr. Corby Alexander <br />City Manager <br />City of La Porte <br />604 W Fairmont Pkwy <br />La Porte, Texas 77571-6215 <br />alexanderc@laportetx.gov <br /> <br />Re: DR-4332-271 City of La Porte – Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Project <br /> City of La Porte - Brookglen Subdivision Drainage Improvements <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Alexander: <br /> <br />Your HMGP project application has been designated as an alternate project under DR-4332 <br />HMGP for Hurricane Harvey. This designation means that your project was not selected for <br />funding. However, the project remains active with TDEM and will remain in consideration if <br />additional funds become available through DR-4332. <br /> <br />Approximately $1 billion ($820.5 million federal share) in HMGP funds were made available for <br />the state of Texas through Hurricane Harvey. TDEM received 565 applications valued at <br />approximately $4.5 billion for these funds. While there were many strong applications, the <br />demand was far greater than available funds. <br /> <br />I encourage you to seek funding for this project from other sources or future HMGP solicitations. <br />As you may know, the Texas General Land Office (GLO) received funding from the U.S. <br />Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block <br />Grant Mitigation funds (CDBG-MIT). Additional information regarding this program is available <br />on the GLO website: <br /> <br />https://recovery.texas.gov/action-plans/mitigation-funding/index.html. <br />If you have any questions, please contact our staff at TDEM-Mitigation@tdem.texas.gov. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />® <br />Suzannah Jones, CEM <br />Deputy Chief, Recovery and Mitigation <br />Texas Division of Emergency Management <br /> <br />cc: Mr. Lorenzo Wingate, City Engineer <br /> wingatel@laportetx.gov <br /> <br />
