Houston set to get just 2% of $488M in federal flood funds from regional council
. The city is not slated to get any of that money. The city and county had expected to receive about half of the $4.3 billion in total funds, or $1 billion each.
Houston, which makes up about 30 percent of the regional council’s population base, would get about $9 million under the regional council’s plan, or 1.9 percent. “I would offer that the complication we have before us today is a result of that $750 million allocation to the county, without any definition of what the expectation is for that money,” Wemple said. “That makes all of our jobs more difficult.”
Galveston and Fort Bend counties, $89 million and $83 million respectively, stand to reap the most under the plan H-GAC voted to send to the state. The rest would go to governments in 10 surrounding counties, including Montgomery, Matagorda, Brazoria and Waller.
