Applicable projects are those that provide housing rehabilitation, first-time on-site sewage facilities, replacement of on-site sewage facilities, or scattered first-time water or sewer service yard lines (that are not associated with the installation of a main trunk line). As appropriate, the following documents must be submitted and approved by TDA prior to the release of any TxCDBG construction funds for direct benefit activities: • Sample Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines (Form C2) • Housing Rehabilitation Work Write-ups and Cost Estimate Worksheet (Form C3) • On Site Sewer Facilities (OSSF) – Sample OSSF Guidelines (Form CII2) • Yard line Assistance Guidelines Template (Form CII2.A).
