Background and Discussion:
On October 13, 2020, Commissioners Court authorized the acceptance of a Fiscal Year 2019 CoC Homeless Assistance Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which authorized CoC Program renewal funding in the amount of $909,474.00 (of which $577,488 is allocated to Harris County Community Services Department to provide rental subsidy payments and $58,522 is allocated for administration costs). The acceptance was made on behalf of one (1) Subrecipient for a total of 53 (scattered-site) units of rental assistance to homeless, disabled adults and their families for the purpose of supplying decent, safe, and affordable housing for Harris County residents.
On November 12, 2020, HUD executed an amendment to the Grant Agreement budget that allows $271,464.00 in CoC funds to be utilized to provide (scattered-site) supportive services to homeless, disabled adults, of which a total of $177,436.80 will be utilized by SEARCH Homeless Services to provide the supportive services.
