Improving rural community-based assessment is a key priority for the Texas Rural Development Council and is the central focus of its Rural Resource Teams. Resource Teams, organized in partnership with the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Councils, Councils of Government, USDA-Rural Development, Community Builders with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and County Extension Agents, are designed specifically for rural Texas communities and bring professionals with expertise in various areas of community development together to provide on-site assessments of individual communities. Resource Team assessment includes listening to the voices of all members of the community, recommending starting points for development that address the community’s specific needs, and providing long-term support for the achievement of community goals. The Resource Team’s visit creates a forum for rallying unity among the community’s citizens and its report gives communities a better position from which to recruit new businesses, retain existing businesses, and to become eligible for grants for community improvement. This report is unbiased and non-political; it has no preconceived outcomes and continues to be relevant regardless of changes in city government. In return for these services, the local community coordinates the Resource Team listening sessions and provides lodging and meal accommodations for team members during their four-day visit to the community.
