The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will grant $1.24 million to help residents with housing improvements for low-income families in rural Texas, including residents in the Fort Hood area.
Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas counties will use the $227,000 grant to serve low-income households with health, safety and handicap accessibility. USDA says that the funding is being provided by the Housing Preservation Grants program.
“The cost of maintaining a home is challenging for many rural homeowners and this funding will help preserve and improve living conditions in order to enhance the prosperity of rural Texas,” State Director Edd Hargett said in a press release. “Under the leadership of President (Donald) Trump and Agriculture Secretary (Sonny) Perdue, USDA has been working tirelessly to be a strong partner to rural Texas in building stronger and healthier communities, because we know when rural America thrives, all of America thrives.”
