Harris County will vote on a deal to help homeless people find housing quickly through federal grants.

Learn More
Harris County is moving forward with an important housing program for our homeless neighbors. The Commissioners Court will review a settlement agreement with SEARCH Homeless Services to expand rapid re-housing support in our community. This partnership brings federal Emergency Solutions Grants to Harris County. These grants help homeless residents move quickly from shelters or the streets into stable housing. The rapid re-housing program provides rental assistance, housing search help, and case management services. SEARCH Homeless Services will deliver these vital services throughout Harris County. The organization works directly with families and individuals to find affordable housing options. They also connect people to job training, healthcare, and other support services that help maintain stable housing. The Commissioners Court agenda shows this item is ready for approval. Once approved, this agreement will strengthen our county's response to homelessness by giving more residents a pathway to permanent housing and community stability.
