Route Fifty: Texas’ plan to spend $5 billion in federal recovery dollars to rebuild after Hurricane Harvey was approved Monday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
More than $1 billion will go to a state homeowner assistance program, which will be used to pay contractors to repair flood-damaged homes outside Houston and Harris County. Those two jurisdictions will directly receive $2.3 billion and run their own initiatives to help still-struggling families, according to the Texas General Land Office, the state agency overseeing the spending.
