Why it matters
This keeps important programs running that help fix homes, build community centers, and provide job training in neighborhoods that need it most. These federal grants bring millions to Harris County each year to improve our communities.
If this passes
Programs for housing repairs, job training, and community improvements will continue running smoothly through 2026 with proper staffing to help residents apply and get services.
If this does not pass
Fewer families would get help with home repairs and job training because there wouldn't be enough staff to manage these important community programs effectively.
