Federal Grant
Funding Available for
Hurricane Harvey Relief
The U.S.
Department of Education has awarded Texas a new grant under the School
Emergency Response to Violence (Project SERV) program. Project SERV funding is
authorized under the Emergency Supplemental Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-117). The
purpose of the Project SERV program is to fund short-term and long-term
education-related services for LEAs to help them recover from a violent or
traumatic event in which the learning environment has been disrupted. The
purpose of the 2017-2018 Project SERV Hurricane Recovery Grant is to assist
LEAs located in counties identified in the Presidential Disaster Declaration in
recovery from disruptions to the learning environment caused by Hurricane
Harvey.
Only LEAs that
reside within one of the counties designated under the Presidential Disaster
Declaration are eligible for this federal funding. Eligible LEAs will receive a
letter from TEA dated December 21, 2017, with details on how to apply for the
federal funding.

Harvey, this year TEA will make available reallocation funds under the programs

Disaster Declaration.
