Background and Discussion:
Harris County Commissioners Court previously approved the Annual Action Plans (AAP). The Annual Action Plans, which are a consolidation of the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) I and III and Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds, were also subsequently approved by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Since HUD approval several changes have been made to projects reported in these documents; and additional CDBG and ESG funding has been made available to Harris County under the CARES Act (Public
Law 116-136), authorized on March 27, 2020, for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval allows Harris County to: 1) De-obligate the CDBG funding from canceled projects, 2) Re-allocate
the funding to other projects and 3) States FY2021 HUD actual award amounts.

Alternatives:
No action would result in Harris County leaving the CDBG funds in a completed project. HUD requires CDBG funds to be committed and drawn within a specified expenditure period. If the funds are not deobligated via the approved amendment process, then the county risks being out of compliance with HUD regulations.
Alignment with Strategic Objective:
Manage grants in compliance with federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations.
