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.
CDBG CARES Act 3
• Project C2020-048 - The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD -CCHP Harris Center at Dennis Street (COVID-19) (Countywide). Deobligate $298,915.77 in 2020 CDBG-CV3 Funds. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $1,417,096.23.
• Project C2020-050 - Harris County CDBG-CV Preparedness/Prevention/Response Solutions (Countywide). Scope change only with no change in funding. Current scope: Harris County CDBG-CV Preparedness/Prevention/Response Solutions Program will provide rental assistance and case management to eligible households who are or who are at risk of homelessness, which will prevent these households exposure to COVID-19 and increase housing stability. Revised scope: Harris County CDBG-CV Preparedness/Prevention/Response Solutions Program will provide assistance to organizations for the purpose of supporting the organization’s activities designed to prepare, prevent, or respond to COVID-19. The activities may vary in scope but must benefit low-income households within Harris County. Eligible activities include but are not limited to public service activities that are new or represent a quantifiable increase above the level of an existing service that has been provided and buildings and/or facility improvements for the purpose of increasing capacity for testing, diagnosing or treating COVID-19. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will remain $1,190,003.00.
CDBG 2019 and CDBG CARES Act
• Project 2020-039 - The Salvation Army of Greater Houston-CCHP Bridge to PSH (COVID-19) (Countywide). Deobligate $1,201,536.76 in 2019 CDBG funds and deobligate $381,620.00 in 2020 CDBG CARES Act funds. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $1,286,682.24.

• Project C2020-047 - Career and Recovery Resources, Inc.-CCHP Housing Stability: Income Support (COVID-19) (Countywide). Deobligate $328,787.00 in 2020 CDBG-CV funds and deobligate $702,167.00 in 2020 CDBG-CV3 funds. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $965,023.00.
ESG CARES Act

The total amount of CDBG-CV3 funds being deobligated is $1,001,082.77; the total amount of CDBG 2019 funds beind deobligated is $1,201,536.76; the total amount of 2020 CDBG CARES Act funds being deobligated is $710,407; the total amount of ESG CARES Act funds being obligated is $1,067,343.36.
