The Texans Feeding Texans Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program was created during the 80^th Texas Legislative Session (TAC §12.042, HB 407), which established a statewide grant program to help supplement and extend the applicants current home-delivered meal program for seniors and/or disabled Texans.  Governmental and non-profit agencies are eligible for this grant program. 


The Role of the Counties       

Counties can bring TDA dollars to their communities by making qualifying grants to nonprofit meal providers.
 
- A grant equivalent to $0.25 per county senior as reported in the 2010 census qualifies meal providers 
  for funds under the Program.  
- County grants at rates less than $0.25 per county senior will qualify providers for correspondingly smaller 
  TDA grants.

If a county has multiple meal providers, the individual county qualifying grants will be totaled to determine the County's overall participation level. 

2010 Census Numbers per County

A nonprofit or governmental agency that delivers meals to homebound elderly or disabled individuals is eligible to apply for a grant through the Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program.  In order for providers to qualify, they must first receive a grant from their local county.

TDA staff will work with meal providers and their counties to ensure all qualified applicants receive funding through this program.
