Harris County 2026 Call for Partnership Projects

Commissioner Garcia and team are seeking potential Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to be funded in partnership with other area agencies to serve the citizens of Harris County. This program applies only to the allocation of Harris County resources: funding for study, final design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of capital projects. Since 2020, Harris County Precinct 2 has partnered on more than 95 projects totaling over $157 million dollars for sidewalk, road, drainage, hike and bike trail improvement projects.

Program Overview:

• Eligible applicants include Local Governments, MUDs, School Districts, Public Transit Providers, Economic Development Corporations, TIRZ, Management Districts and Public Ports. Other project sponsors (Nonprofits, Civic Clubs, HOA’s, etc.) must have a letter of support from the owner of the asset or government entity.
• Proposed Project must be partially or entirely located within Harris County Precinct 2.
• Only eligible costs identified in the project application will be considered. Estimated costs for planning, design, environmental determination and mitigation, right of way acquisition, and construction must be identified in the application.
• All project submissions must include a letter of funding commitment or letter of support from the organization’s leadership. Projects within multiple jurisdictions must provide letters of support from each jurisdiction.
• Partners must have the decision-making body (i.e. City Council/Board) approve a resolution to commit funding and work with Precinct 2 on this partnership project(s). Precinct 2 will not consider the project for partnership until a resolution has been passed by the partner’s decision-making body (sample template is included in the Partnership Project Guidelines link below).
• In order to participate in this program, Partners must update their ordinance or regulations to adopt Harris Counties drainage minimum measures approved by Commissioners Court on May 19th, 2020.
• An optional Partnership Project Workshop will be held on January 28, 2026 at 1pm via Teams. Please contact Jorge Bustamante to RSVP (713-456-9452/Jorge.Bustamante@pct2.hctx.net).
