Background and Discussion:
On September 19, 2024, Commissioners Court approved a Master Agreement between Harris County and Houston Area Women’s Center utilizing $135,010 in ESG funds to support the Domestic Violence Emergency Shelter project. The ESG funds allows the Subrecipient to provide emergency shelter bed days for homeless persons fleeing or attempting to flee domestic.
The First Amendment will reduce the ESG project allocation by $74,401 to align with actual project expenditures; update the Scope of Services and the Budget to reflect a revised unit cost, a revised ESG activity allocation, and update the budget line-item amounts; and the Federal Award Identification Table. The total ESG project allocation will now be decreased to $60,609 in PY2024 ESG funds.
Expected Impact:
There will be no additional financial impact on the County; the total ESG allocation for this project will be reduced from $135,010 to $60,609.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternative options.
