The Colonia program provides opportunities for community development, improvements and education in south Texas communities. Funding supports infrastructure projects, but also includes placemaking and community development opportunities via engagement and public notices.

Both the Downtown Revitalization & Main Street programs under TxCDBG offer opportunities for non-entitlement municipalities (localities with less than 50,000 residents or counties with fewer than 200,000 persons) to improve their cultural and historical centers of commerce. The grant provides funding for infrastructure improvements that address the conditions of aging public or commercial structures and infrastructure that hold community significance.

The Community Development fund is the largest funding opportunity offered by TDA using TxCDBG. It is available to non-entitlement municipalities and counties in the 24 state planning region for public facilities and infrastructure improvements. However, citizen participation, hearings and access to information is a large part of TxCDBG compliance. As it stands, satisfying these requirements is highly administrative, as the majority of funded projects are not conventional community-building opportunities.
