Il faut que je fasse mes devoirs.

Bonjour Heather !
The "il me faut" structure can only be followed by a noun or an infinitive, whereas "il faut que" will be followed by a full clause (subject + conuugated verb).
In terms of usage, "il faut que je fasse" is more colloquial and commonly used, whereas "il me faut faire" would actually sound a bit over sophisticated.

I hope that's helpful!
Bonne journée !
It would be "Il me faut faire mes devoirs."
The two versions are very similar but saying "Il faut que je fasse mes devoirs." is more of a general statement.
But a native speaker would have to weigh in on this.
