The state GLO has 10 days to fix its Hurricane Harvey recovery plan that 'disproportionately harmed Black and Hispanic residents,' according to a letter HUD sent Monday.
The GLO's plan gave Houston and Harris County $0 despite the region being one of the hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey. The funds at issue would not go toward helping residents rebuild, but instead toward flood mitigation projects that would help protect residents from future disasters.
"HUD falsely claims Black and Hispanic residents were 'disproportionately harmed,' but in reality more than two-thirds of the beneficiaries are Black and Hispanic. Additionally 100% of the projects benefit majority low- and moderate-income communities," the GLO said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
