Request for approval of two (2) first amendments to agreements with Harris County Public Health (HCPH) to revised Exhibit B, Budget for the Neighborhood Nuisance Abatement Project and the Lead-Based Paint Abatement Project funded with Program Year (PY) 2025 Community Development Block Grant Entitlement (CDBG-EN) funds.

These two programs use federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money to help neighborhoods. One program addresses nuisance properties — things like unsafe structures or trash-filled lots. The other removes lead-based paint from homes, which is especially important for protecting young children from lead poisoning.

Updating the budgets keeps both programs funded and running.

The Commissioners Court is being asked to approve amendments to two existing agreements with Harris County Public Health (HCPH). The changes update the budget section (Exhibit B) for each program. Both programs are funded through Program Year 2025 federal CDBG dollars.

This is a budget revision, not a new program.

This is a government contract amendment being voted on by the five-member Commissioners Court. If you want to know whether you or your neighborhood may be eligible for either program — nuisance abatement or lead paint removal — you can reach out to the contact listed on the item. Residents can also attend the public meeting or watch it online through Harris County's meeting portal.

These programs connect to broader Harris County efforts to improve neighborhood safety and housing conditions — especially in lower-income communities that qualify for federal CDBG funding. If you have a nuisance property concern nearby, or live in an older home that may have lead paint, these are the county programs worth knowing about.
