ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2026-03-31

This item would have approved contracts with eight construction companies to perform home repairs for eligible Houston residents under a federally funded program, with $3 million in Community Development Block Grant funds allocated over up to five years. However, the item was pulled by the Administration and was not voted on or approved.

What it means for you

No action was taken — the program was withdrawn before the Council could consider it, so no home repair contracts or funding were authorized at this meeting.
