Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones, in partnership with Precinct4Forward, will provide 250+ free portable air conditioning units, more than doubling last year's distribution to meet growing need. This expanded initiative continues to prioritize seniors, low-income households, veterans, and individuals with disabilities who are most vulnerable during extreme heat events. 

Approved applicants will be notified of a designated community center or alternative pickup location (to be announced). At the time of pickup, staff will assist in completing the two required forms:

1. Acceptance/Receipt Form
2. Recipient Disclaimer and Waiver Form

Applicants must sign and date both documents. A copy of the signed waiver, along with an A/C Unit Use & Care flyer, will be provided for reference.

Note: Due to limited capacity, a small number of units may be delivered and/or installed by our Road and Bridge Department. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, based on need.
