The Houston Health Department (HHD) requests City Council approve and authorize a first amendment to an agreement between the City of Houston and Herman Hammonds and J Huerta Construction LLC, respectively, for residential repair and restoration services. These amendment will extend the contracts for one year, extending the terms from September 30, 2019 to September 30, 2020.
The amendments will enable Herman Hammonds and J Huerta Construction LLC to continue to provide residential repair and restoration services to homes for individuals 60 years of age and older who reside within Harris County, TX. The type of repairs includes, but are not limited to, grab bars, ramps, and installing a walk-in shower. The repairs or modifications of the dwellings will help the homeowners preserve their home and allow them to remain in their home in a safe and healthy environment which will assist the eligible seniors with a better quality of life.
The program is grant funded by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
Harris County Area Agency Aging (HCAAA) coordinates supportive services for older adults age 60 and above in Harris County through a direct or community-based service delivery system.
