Why it matters
These staff members help Harris County families get affordable housing, fix storm damage, and find safe places to live. Their work keeps our neighborhoods strong after disasters like hurricanes and helps people buy homes or get repairs when they need help the most.
If this passes
Housing assistance programs continue running smoothly. Families can still get help buying homes, fixing storm damage, and finding affordable housing through 2026.
If this does not pass
Housing programs might be short-staffed. Families could face longer waits for help with home repairs, disaster recovery, and affordable housing assistance.
