Background and Discussion:
On February 27, 2024, Commissioners Court approved an Agreement between Harris County and Northwest Assistance Ministries for the provision of housing stability services to at-risk persons impacted by COVID-19 using a total of $721,623.10 in PY2020 Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds. The services included housing stability case management, financial assistance, and other supportive services.
On September 19, 2024, Commissioners Court approved a First Amendment to the CDBG-CV funded Agreement between Harris County and Northwest Assistance Ministries to extend the time of performance through April 30, 2025, and to revise Exhibit G, the Federal Award Information Table to reflect the revised period of performance. The CDBG-CV project allocation remained at $721,623.10. An Agreement Termination is now requested because Harris County and Northwest Assistance Ministries have mutually determined that the project is no longer feasible. The termination will be effective December 31, 2024.
Expected Impact:
The Termination to the Agreement will have no financial impact on the County.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternative options.
