Background and Discussion:

On November 9, 2022, an Annual Action Plan Activity Level Amendment was made to obligate a total of $69,509 in Program Year 2022 ESG funds to The Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Inc. for the provision of emergency bed days to eligible individuals in Harris County. This project aims to avert having these individuals, who are fleeing domestic violence and/or sexual assault, live in unsheltered conditions.

 

Expected Impact:

The total ESG funding for this activity is $69,509. The project is expected to benefit 150 low-income persons.

 

Alternative Options:

If the agreement is not approved, persons fleeing domestic violence and/or sexual assault will not benefit from the program.
