PASSEDHouston City Council · 2025-11-05

The city council is being asked to approve a one-year extension on a federal grant agreement with the Texas Water Development Board that funds the elevation of five flood-prone homes in Houston. No additional money is involved — this amendment only extends the deadline to complete the work through July 19, 2026.

What it means for you

Five Houston homeowners in flood-prone areas who are part of this program will have more time to have their homes elevated to reduce future flood damage; there is no direct financial impact on other residents.
