Houston is taking steps to finalize and approve a plan to spend $1.15 billion in federal disaster relief funding after Hurricane Harvey.
Mike Morris reports:
Houston officials plan to invest $600 million in repairing or building single-family homes and $375 million to fix or construct apartments, according to a draft document outlining how the city intends to spend the first long-term federal housing aid headed this way after Hurricane Harvey.
The draft action plan is a key procedural step in the city's effort to draw on $1.15 billion in federal housing aid, part of the $5 billion allocated to Texas from Congress' first hurricane-related appropriation last fall. Harris County will get a similar amount.
Morris provides additional details on the recovery plan, like a break down of the spending proposed in the package, in the source article.
