Regional Review Committee Guidebook
Texas Community Development Block Grant (TxCDBG) Regional Review Committee (RRC) Guidebook for 2009-2010. (This is NOT a housing program).
Each of Texas’ 24 regional councils has its own Regional Review Committee (RRC) . Each RRC is comprised of 12 local elected officials, appointed by the Governor of the State of Texas.
The role of each RRC is to participate in the process of determining regional priorities for projects funded through the Office of Rural Community Affairs (ORCA) Community Development Fund. The RRC is responsible for developing objective scoring criteria used to prioritize applicants.
The Southeast Texas RRC met in March of this year to review, determine and obtain public comment regarding objective scoring criteria for the upcoming 2009-2010 TxCDBG grant cycle.
Below is a copy of the Southeast Texas RRC Guidebook, which has been prepared in accordance with the 2009 TxCDBG Action Plan and the 2009-2010 RRC Scoring and Training Guidelines for the Community Development Fund. The Guidebook provides eligible applicants from the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission (SETRPC) region with the application guidelines necessary to be scored under the Southeast Texas RRC scoring criteria.
