Background and Discussion:

No Harris County funds are allocated by this action.

Kingsland Park is a 198-unit housing development in Harris County located on the Property and located at 23420 Kingsland Blvd., Katy, Texas. Of those 198 units, 146 units are required to be occupied by low to  moderate-income residents.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of the ground transfer to HCHFC has been contemplated since the purchase by Harris County. ARPA funds funded the purchase of the underlying ground of the completed apartments to ensure 99-year permanent affordability in the property.

 

Alternative Options:

Without approval, the land remains held by Harris County rather than being owned by HCHFC.
