Background and Discussion:
On February 27, 2024, May 7, 2024 and January 9, 2025, Commissioners Court approved agreements and an amendment between Harris County and Healthcare for the Homeless-Houston for the provision of COVD-19 testing, follow-up care for those that test positive to COVID-19, and wrap-around healthcare to eligible homeless persons. The agreements and amendment revised the project budget to adequately cover costs and extended the time of performance.
The current amendment will extend the project by six months through September 30, 2025, increasing the number of persons to be served, and increase funding by $214,400.63 in CDBG-CV funds to cover the costs for the extended period. Total CDBG -CV funds now increase to $500,008.85.
Expected Impact:
The amendment will allow projected CDBG-CV residual funds to be fully utilized by Healthcare for the Homeless. Therefore, the fiscal impact to the County remains unchanged, as the funds are being reallocated within the CDBG-CV program.
Alternative Options:
No alternative options
