Background and Discussion:
On February 12, 2024, HCCSD received notification from the City of Houston that Harris County was granted an award of $200,000 in TDHCA Homeless Services Program Youth Set-Aside funding for the purpose of serving youth, ages 18 to 24, and youth-headed households within the City of Houston to provide housing stability case management.
Harris County Housing and Community Development (HCHCD) assists hundreds of low-income households annually with the help of various grants to deliver homeless prevention services and housing stability case management services. The City of Houston’s TDHCA Homeless Services Program Youth Set-Aside funds would allow HCHCD to serve youth, ages 18 to 24, and youth-headed households within the City of Houston to provide housing stability case management.
On March 29, 2024, Harris County received a grant agreement from the City of Houston for the TDHCA’s Homeless Services Program - Youth Set-Aside funds (“HHSP-Y Funds”) in the amount of $200,000 for grant term beginning April 1, 2024, and ending on August 31, 2024. These funds awarded by the City of Houston allow HCHCD the ability to assist 60 eligible youth, ages 18 to 24, and youth-headed households within the City of Houston. Services provided to eligible youth and youth-headed households will include housing stability case management for a grant term beginning April 1, 2024, and ending on August 31, 2024 with an option to extend up to six months for the provision of expending all awarded funds.
Expected Impact:
The City of Houston’s TDHCA HHSP-Y award in the amount of $200,000 allow HCCSD to serve youth, ages 18 to 24, and youth-headed households within the City of Houston to provide housing stability case management.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternative options due to the City of Houston’s TDHCA’s HHSP-Y program allows HCHCD to serve clients in the City of Houston’s service area.
