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. Furthermore, 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.

 

2020 CDBG

Project C2020-026 Parkwood Estates Water Distribution System Phase 2 (Precinct 2): Obligate $7,351.49 in 2017 CDBG Funds, obligate $80,000.00 in 2018 CDBG Funds, and obligate $155,386.60 in 2019 CDBG Funds. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $1,389,362.09.

 

2021 CDBG

Project C2021-009 HCCSD Housing Stability Case Management Program:  Deobligate $65,269.62 in 2021 CDBG Funds. Project completed. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $285,869.38.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval is required to meet timeliness regulations established by HUD. The total amount of $242,738.09 being obligated for Project C2020-026 is needed to meet a bid shortfall. The total amount being deobligated from Project C2021-009 is $65,269.62.

 

Alternative Options:

There are no alternatives. The county risks being out of compliance with HUD regulations if amendments are not approved. Approval is required to meet timeliness regulations.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

X Economic Opportunity

X Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding
