Premises

CHUD vision and mission are based on the following four premises

PREMISE 1

  • Satisfying the charges for infrastructure and economic development needs of rural and non-rural border and coastal communities in Texas,
  • satisfying the growing needs for housing, and improving and strengthening the available resources and policies affecting economically distressed areas, especially regarding water and wastewater services, and
  • transportation and health infrastructure needs of Texas colonias,

pose inextricably linked problems, needs, and opportunities.

These charges require that the State, working with other key stakeholders in the public and private sectors, acknowledge their links, and invest in establishing mechanisms to work together at local, regional, state, national, and even international levels, to pursue integrated solutions to these challenges.
