On June 11, 2026, Harris County Commissioners Court approved a one-year extension from FEMA for the county's FY 2023 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) award. This federal grant funds work to protect the Port of Houston and Houston Ship Channel from terrorism and emergencies. The extension covers all five funded projects and related Management and Administration costs, giving Harris County more time to finish approved port security work.
This grant funds security work at the Port of Houston and Houston Ship Channel. The extension changes the deadline for finishing that work, which affects how federal money already awarded to the county gets spent.
