Background and Discussion:

This agreement is entering its sixth year and incorporates the term for a Year 6 Task Order for the CDBG-DR Residential and Commercial Post Disaster Relocation and Buyout Program’s Disaster Recovery Program Management services. Texas General Land Office recently gave approval for an additional year of funding.

 

Expected Impact:

The amendment adding funds to this agreement is being requested to finalize the Disaster Recovery programs.

 

Alternative Options:

Not amending the agreement would cause disruption and loss of capacity to continue implementation

operations of disaster recovery efforts jeopardizing delivery of assistance to eligible applicants, negatively

impacting achievement of milestones issued by the Texas General Land Office, thus, jeopardizing associated

CDBG-DR grant funds for Harvey recovery efforts.

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

X Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation
