Harris County may renew a $300,000 contract with The Harris Center to provide housing and support for people leaving the Harris County Jail.
Harris County Commissioners Court will vote on July 9, 2026 to renew a $300,000 agreement with The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD. The contract covers residential placement for people leaving the Harris County Jail through the jail re-entry program. The Administrative Office of the District Courts runs the program. Services include stable housing and behavioral health support to help people transition out of jail and reduce the chance of returning. The agreement runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
This contract funds housing placement for people leaving Harris County Jail. Neighbors may care because it affects who receives transitional housing support and how county tax dollars are spent on re-entry services.
