Commissioners Court Approves $30 Million COVID-19 Relief Fund for Equitable Economic Relief for Vulnerable Harris County Residents

The Harris County COVID-19 Relief Fund (HCCRF), which is slated to be distributed equitably throughout the county, will provide $1,200 for households of one to four residents, and $1,500 for households of five-plus people.
