end
Background and Discussion:
As per Harris County Auditor’s accounting and grant setup procedure G.5
“Grant Renewals/Rollovers”, new grant end dates have been established to accommodate the required position extensions for the expiring PCNs listed below.
With the partial extension of CDBGDR Harvey and addition of CDBGDR Beryl, grant funded positions will be reassigned to new department IDs, projects, and activities, and the positions will be extended to updated end dates.
The following PCNs have been extended and/or updated for the reasons outlined below:
1. Reclassification of 2 expiring CDBG-DR PCNs to Flex Fund to support administration of the Flex Fund program.
2. Update and extension of 17 expiring CDBG-DR PCNs to CDBG Entitlement.
3. Update and extension of 5 expiring CDBG-DR Harvey PCNs to the CDBG-DR Beryl Grant.
4. Update and extension of 4 CDBG Harvey PCNs through August 31, 2026.
5. Reclassification of 1 expiring PCN from CDBG-DR Harvey to HCHFC (Harris County Housing Finance Corporation).
Expected Impact:
Enables HCD to utilize grant funds and its related positions involved in grant related programs and projects that improve the quality of life in the low-and moderate-income areas of the county and to identify and provide services for housing, homeless, and community development
Alternative Options:
If the positions are not extended, HCD would not have the benefit of the positions to provide services to the residents of Harris County.
