| ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary) |
| Authorize a Resolution to convey up to two parcels of property to Habitat for Humanity to further their mission to build homes, communities and hope. |
| BACKGROUND |
Habitat for Humanity has approached staff about acquiring property from the Texas City Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC) to build new low-cost homes in the community for those in need and to aid in economic development. The TCEDC currently has up to three available lots (please see Exhibit "A") the Board may want to consider conveying to Habitat for Humanity. While three lots are currently available for consideration, staff supports the conveyance of up to two of those properties to Habitat for Humanity to further their mission to build new homes in Texas City for those in need.
The first parcel would be conveyed to Habitat for Humanity for the purpose of building a new home for a family in need. Assuming the process goes smoothly and there are no major issues that arise with the process and the quality of the initial home construction, staff would proceed with the process of transferring the second parcel of property to Habitat for Humanity for a second home construction project. |
