Background and Discussion:

Each year, prior to the renewal of a grant’s program year (March 1, 2023), the County department responsible for administering a grant must request approval of the commissioners to extend the end date of each affected grant funded position. As per Harris County Auditor’s accounting and grant setup procedure G.5 “Grant Renewals/Rollovers”, the department ID’s, grant project, and activities are established in order to accommodate the required position extensions and subsequent roll. Positions funded through Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and the HOME program are included in this request.

 

Expected Impact:

Enables HCCSD to utilize grant funds and its related positions involved in grant related programs and projects that improve the quality of life in the low-and moderate-income areas of the county and to identify and provide services for housing, homeless, and community development. The fiscal impact to the County is anticipated to be $1,960,000 in Fund 2699 dollars for interim administrative funding of the previously mentioned positions.

 

Alternative Options:

If the positions are not extended, HCCSD would not have the benefit of the positions to provide services to the community.
