Harris County seeks approval of eight ESG-funded contract amendments covering shelter, outreach, and rapid re-housing services.
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced this item on June 12, 2026. It asks for approval of eight amendments to agreements paid for with Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) money. The amendments update the scope of services, budgets, and federal award details for eight organizations that help people experiencing homelessness in the Houston area, including emergency shelters, street outreach, and rapid re-housing programs.
These amendments change what eight local homeless-services organizations are allowed to do and spend with federal ESG funds. Residents near shelters or outreach zones may see changes in service levels or program availability.
