13 Minnesota $12,427,113
14 New Jersey $11,641,549
15 Tennessee $10,195,848

HUD also released the “Snapshot Reports” showing Grantee progress on first round of NSP funding as of 8/31.  The snapshot of Texas recipients indicates that TDHCA was only 55% obligated as of 8/31.  Given that TDHCA reported last Friday (9/3) that they had obligated 100% of their funds, that fact suggests that TDHCA obligated an impressive 45% of their funds in the final days before the deadline.

Other than TDHCA, only two Direct Grantees in Texas were less than 75% obligated: Fort Bend County, at 27% obligated, and El Paso, at 4% obligated.  If these grantees don’t reach 100% obligation by their respective 18-month deadlines, HUD will impose additional restrictions and oversight on their activities.
