Background and Discussion:
On April 2020, the Commissioner’s Court approved the acceptance of the Child Care Council’s PY2020 City of Houston’s Homeless Youth Services Program (HYSP) award and executed a grant agreement with the Child Care Council in the amount of $199,141.00 for the purpose of providing Case Management services to homeless Youth ages 18-24. Since the acceptance of this initial award, an extension was granted through Oct 31, 2021.
In March 2021, Harris County Community Services Department (HCCSD) received notification from the Child Care Council of Greater Houston, Inc. that HCCSD was granted an extension to the 2021-2022 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)/Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Homeless Youth Services Program (HYSP) for an additional 7 months, beginning on January 1, 2022, and ending on August 31, 2022. The extension includes additional ESG and HHSP funding in the amount of $108,505 and $144,661, respectively. This item would allow HCCSD to accept the grant amendment.
