Request for approval of an agreement with Harris County Precinct 4 for $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funding for Planning Studies.

CDBG-MIT funding comes from the federal government to help communities reduce future disaster risks. Planning studies funded this way help counties figure out the smartest ways to protect neighborhoods from floods and other hazards before the next storm hits.

This is a contract approval — not a construction project yet. The $400,000 would go toward planning work in Harris County Precinct 4. Planning studies are an early step that helps officials understand community needs and design better long-term solutions.
