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.
2017 HOME Funds
Project 2017-038: The Men’s Center, Incorporated (dba Recenter) - Hope Harbor (Precinct 1). This amendment deobligates $42,284.30 in 2017 HOME funds. The project is complete. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $2,697,177.45.
2019-2021 CDBG Funds
Project 2021-038: Harris County Community Services Department - HC Infrastructure and Public Facilities Improvement Project (Countywide). This amendment deobligates $37,297.68 in 2019 CDBG funds, deobligates $312,801.68 in 2020 CDBG funds, and deobligates $249,900.64 in 2021 CDBG funds. The project is complete. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $1,200,000.00.
2021-2022 ESG Funds
Project 2022-008: Harris County Community Services Department - Harris County ESG Homeless Services (Countywide). This amendment deobligates $446,473.38 in 2022 ESG funds and obligates to 2021 ESG. Total project funding, including previously awarded amounts, will be $446,473.38.
Other Items
This item indicates the actual 2022 CDBG program income collected for the period 03/01/2022-11/01/2022 is $34,213.88.
Expected Impact:
Firstly, approval of amendments is required to meet timeliness regulations established by HUD. Because the project(s) are completed, deobligation of remaining funds will occur for other uses. Secondly, program income for period ending November 1, 2022, is stated through this item. Total deobligation and obligation amounts are as follows:
• Deobligate $42,284.30 in 2017 HOME funds
• Deobligate $37,297.68 in 2019 CDBG funds
• Deobligate $312,801.68 in 2020 CDBG funds
• Deobligate $249,900.64 in 2021 CDBG funds
• Deobligate $446,473.38 in 2022 ESG funds
• Obligate $446,473.38 in 2021 ESG funds
Alternative Options:
There are no alternatives. The county risks being out of compliance with HUD regulations if the amendments are not approved. Approval is required to meet timeliness.
