About the Program

The economic impacts of COVID-19 have exacerbated pre-existing economic disparities across communities and demonstrated the clear demand for high-quality jobs. Programs under Jobs and Education intend to help families and small businesses recover from recent shocks, but also invest in workforce programs that help residents succeed in the 21st century, and provide the support that workers need in order to re-enter the economy. Harris County has also allocated funds to increase capacity, quality, and accessibility of child care resources for families.
