Background and Discussion:
In 2023, Harris County received a grant from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) with support from the Sorenson Impact Center, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Schmidt Futures, and Telosa Community Foundation to join the Putting Assets to Work Incubator with other counties and cities. The purpose of the incubator was to find ways to unlock value from real estate assets owned by the County to meet critical community needs. Harris County is seeking to contract with the real estate advisory firm, Hayat Brown, with expertise related to public sector real estate monetization, creation of community benefits, preparation and analysis of deal structures, maximization of negotiation of real estate, Public-Private Partnerships, economic development, other agreements and structures, facilitation, and community engagement.
Expected Impact:
This will support the Office of County Administration, the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity, the Housing and Community Development Department, and the Office of the County Engineer in developing the Putting Assets to Work framework for a comprehensive assessment, identification, and development of a County-owned parcels portfolio for monetization and/or expanded utilization with the goal to create community benefits across Harris County’s most vulnerable neighborhoods and communities.
