Background and Discussion:

Vendor will construct sixty (60) single-family homes on finished lots that are owned by Harris County for Housing and Community Development – Single Family New Construction Program.

 

Expected Impact:

The constructed sixty (60) single-family homes to be sold to eligible applicants that meet the low to moderate income (LMI) requirements.

 

Alternative Options:

Without a contractor the homes would not be built, and we would not meet the General Land Office deadlines and could potentially end the project.
