Harris County seeks approval to accept $22.5M in federal HUD grants for housing and community development programs in FY2026.
Harris County Housing and Community Development is asking the Commissioners Court to accept over $22.5 million in federal grant funds. The money comes from HUD and covers three programs for fiscal year 2026: Community Development Block Grants, Emergency Solutions Grants, and HOME Investment Partnerships. No matching funds are required. The department's Executive Director would sign the grant agreements.
These federal funds pay for housing and community programs in Harris County. Accepting or rejecting them affects whether those programs receive money in fiscal year 2026.
