Harris County proposes cutting $1M from Lone Star Legal Aid's homeowner preservation legal assistance agreement, updating terms and budget exhibits.
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced an amendment to a legal aid agreement with Lone Star Legal Aid. The amendment would cut $1,000,000 in grant funds, update agreement terms, and revise budget exhibits. The agreement covers homeowner preservation legal assistance under Housing and Community Development from November 12, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
This amendment changes how much grant money goes to a legal aid group that helps homeowners. If you own a home in Harris County and might need legal help to keep it, this funding affects what services are available.
