| | | | | | | | Summary:
ORDINANCE approving and authorizing Subrecipient Agreement between City of Houston and TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE for use of the City’s portion of the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (“CDBG-DR17”) Funds provided through the Texas Plan for Disaster Recovery: Hurricane Harvey – Round 1, as amended |
| | | | | | | | Background:
The Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) recommends Council approval of an Ordinance authorizing a new Subrecipient Agreement between the City of Houston (City) and the Texas General Land Office (GLO), allocating a total of $835,087,843.00 in Hurricane Harvey Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR17) funds to the City. These funds will be used for HCDD's Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts primarily related to housing.
This new Subrecipient Agreement is contingent upon the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) approval of the State of Texas Plan for Disaster Recovery: Hurricane Harvey-Round 1 - Amendment 8 (APA 8). On the date HUD approves APA 8, this Subrecipient Agreement will become effective, and the City’s prior Subrecipient Agreement No. 19-147-001-B489 and related agreement with the GLO regarding the use of the City’s portion of the CDBG-DR funds for Hurricane Harvey- Round 1 shall automatically expire.
The budget reflected in the Subrecipient Agreement No. 19-147-001-B489 will be reduced to a total of $835,087,843.00 in the new Subrecipient Agreement. The new Subrecipient Agreement will reflect this updated budget and will supersede Subrecipient Agreement No. 190-147-001-B89.
According to APA 8, if approved by HUD, the City’s estimated budget of $835,087,843.00 of CDBG-DR17 funds will be distributed among the following activities:
