Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to execute two agreements to support single-family housing development in concert with the approval to issue immediate payments of awards of $50,000 each to two separate entities: (a) HCPOA Providence Place Association, Inc.; and (b) HCPOA Orchard Place Association, Inc.
end
Background and Discussion:
Providence Place and Orchard Place are two single-family home initiatives the County is developing to fulfill key recovery objectives following Hurricane Harvey. The objective of the program is to increase the supply of decent, safe, affordable housing.
This item authorizes the County Judge to execute two agreements of $50,000 each for two separate entities: (a) HCPOA Providence Place Association, Inc. and (b) HCPOA Orchard Place Association, Inc., which will allow for funding previously approved to be granted to each of the HOAs for their initial establishment. Such award was previously approved on December 11, 2025, utilizing ARPA program income funds to provide for start-up costs and stabilization of two home-owner associations of affordable housing communities developed by Harris Count Housing & Community Development.
Expected Impact:
$100K in ARPA Program Income was previously approved at the December 11, 2025, meeting. No additional impact.
Alternative Options:
If these homes are not constructed for the SFNC program, HCHCD will be less able to provide affordable newlyconstructed homes to LMI homebuyers that were directly or indirectly impacted by Hurricane Harvey and face financial challenges to become a homeowner.
