Harris County Commissioners Court introduced this item on June 10, 2026. It asks the court to approve a change to an agreement with the Texas General Land Office. The change would increase Hurricane Harvey disaster recovery grant funds to $885,431,475.04 and push the grant end date to August 31, 2026. The grant is part of the FY 2017 CDBG-DR Hurricane Harvey Round One Funding Program.
This changes how much federal disaster recovery money is available and how long it can be spent after Hurricane Harvey. Neighbors who received or applied for Harvey recovery help may be affected by the new deadline and funding amount.
