Harris County Housing and Community Development Plan Changes
How to get this
When you call, you can say: “Hi, I saw "Harris County Housing and Community Development Plan Changes" on Community Exchange and want to know how to take part.”
These changes decide how federal housing money gets spent in your neighborhood. This funding helps families buy homes, fixes roads and sidewalks, supports homeless services, and funds community centers. Changes could mean more help for your area.
If this passes
Money can be moved between housing programs or new projects added. Your neighborhood might get more funding for home repairs, first-time buyer help, or community improvements.
If this does not pass
Housing and community development money would stay in the same programs without changes. No new projects or funding shifts would happen in your area.

Harris County Commissioners Court approved changes to our Annual Action Plans for 2022, 2024, and 2025. These plans guide how federal housing and community development money gets spent in our neighborhoods. The plans use funds from the U.
S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help families find affordable housing, fix up homes, and strengthen communities across Harris County. When commissioners change these plans, they can shift money between programs or add new projects that serve residents better.
These changes matter because they affect real programs in our neighborhoods. The money helps first-time homebuyers, fixes sidewalks and streets, supports homeless services, and funds community centers. Changes to the plans might mean more money for your area or new programs that help your family.
Harris County covers many communities outside Houston city limits, including unincorporated areas where many working families live. The Commissioners Court meets regularly to review these housing programs and make sure they serve residents who need help most. You can track these decisions and speak at public meetings when housing issues affect your neighborhood.
