Background and Discussion:
In response to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Harvey that underscored critical shortages in Harris County's inventory of affordable homes, Harris County's Single-Family New Construction Program (SFNCP) matches individuals and families with opportunities to purchase new affordable homes in growing developments throughout the county. Approval to enter Interlocal Agreement will allow for the new single-family development of approximately 47 homes to receive water and wastewater services provided by Sunbelt and will allow for Sunbelt to accept all fresh water and wastewater facility infrastructure.
Expected Impact:
Allow Harris County to match individuals and families with opportunities to purchase flood resilient homes in growing developments throughout the county.
