The Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) recommends City Council approval of an Ordinance approving a Tenth Amendment to the Hurricane Ike Community Development Block Grant Disaster (CDBG-DR 2) Program Rental Housing Projects Round 2 Subrecipient Agreement (#13-181-000-7294) between the City of Houston (City) and the Texas General Land Office (GLO). The Subrecipient Agreement allowed the City to carry out multifamily activities, which included rehabilitation, reconstruction, and new construction of subsidized housing benefiting low-to-moderate income families. 

The proposed Amendment extends the City’s CDBG-DR 2 Agreement term to August 31, 2025, and updates contractual language. The extension accommodates the completion and closeout of the St. Elizabeth Place Rehabilitation Project, an 85-unit Multifamily rental housing complex in the Lyons Avenue Corridor in Houston’s Fifth Ward. There are no changes to the funding.
