How this connects
Approved by Harris County voters in 2018 after Hurricane Harvey and extended in 2024, this bond program funds drainage improvements, buyouts of flood-prone properties, and bayou restoration across Harris County. Many historically underserved neighborhoods remain in the project queue, including parts of Third Ward, Fifth Ward, and Sunnyside. Residents can track project status and submit input on priorities through the Harris County Flood Control District. The program is the largest flood mitigation investment in the county history.
Harris County voters approved billions in bonds to reduce flooding. The money pays for bigger bayous, new detention basins, and home buyouts in the most flood-prone areas.
