Harris County Commissioners Court approved extending four staff positions in the Housing and Community Development department through September 2026. These positions are funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which brings federal money to our community for housing and neighborhood improvements. The CDBG program helps low-income families find affordable housing, repairs homes for seniors and people with disabilities, and funds community centers and job training programs. These four staff members work directly on programs that help Harris County residents get housing assistance, apply for home repair grants, and access services in their neighborhoods. When we keep experienced staff in place, our community gets better service and faster help with housing needs. The positions were set to end but will now continue for another two years, meaning consistent support for families who need housing help. Harris County residents can benefit from CDBG programs like first-time homebuyer assistance, emergency home repairs, and rental assistance. To learn about available housing programs, contact the Housing and Community Development department or attend Commissioners Court meetings where these decisions are made. You can also reach out to Cindy Paz at the email provided for more information about housing services in your area.
Four experienced housing staff will keep helping families find affordable homes, get repair grants, and access neighborhood services through 2026. When staff stays, families get faster help with housing needs.
