“Places 4 People is an example of how county government can collaborate with local organizations to achieve more for our residents. By pooling our resources and expertise, we will drive dozens of innovative projects across the finish line.” - Commissioner Lesley Briones
In a commitment to alleviating flooding, closing critical connectivity gaps, improving access to parks, and increasing public safety, Commissioner Lesley Briones is launching her third Call 4 Projects as part of the Harris County Precinct 4 Places 4 People program.
Through the Places 4 People program, Harris County Precinct 4 partners with local organizations to deliver progress in the form of improved, resilient infrastructure across the Precinct.
The program was launched in 2023. To date, our partners and Precinct 4 have invested $220 million into 52 much-needed projects.
Applicants first submitted a pre-application form online. Precinct 4 staff is currently reviewing all pre-applications to assess project feasibility and alignment with the following aspirational values and policy priorities: equity, resilience, sustainability, community support, healthy places and buildings, and universal design. Proposed projects must be in Harris County Precinct 4 and establish a direct, immediate nexus to roadway assets in Precinct 4. In August 2025, agencies with approved pre-applications will receive a formal invitation to apply to the program. Only those with a formal invitation may proceed with the full application process.
Entities eligible to apply include cities, school districts, Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZs), Municipal Management Districts (MMDs), Public Transit Agencies, Economic Development Corporations (EDCs), Housing Authorities, and other local government corporations.
Organizations can apply to the Places 4 People program for funding for study, conceptual and final design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of capital and maintenance projects.
