Harris County Commissioners Court approved an amendment to continue funding housing support and rental assistance through The Montrose Center. This contract uses federal Ryan White Grant money to help people living with HIV find and keep stable housing. The Montrose Center is a longtime LGBTQ+ community organization that provides health and social services.
This amendment adds advance payment options and updates data management systems for the program period March 2026 through February 2027. The contract amount stays the same - no additional county money is needed. Housing support is critical for health outcomes.
When people have stable homes, they can better manage their medical care, take medications consistently, and stay connected to healthcare providers. This program specifically serves people with HIV who face housing challenges in Harris County. The Ryan White program is federally funded and designed to fill gaps in HIV care and support services.
