On Thursday, with the Make I-45 Better Coalition behind her, Ms. Tanya Debose implored those at City Hall to preserve the Independence Heights neighborhood. Air Alliance Houston released their health impact assessment on the area and much more needs to be done to protect her friends and neighbors. — Inside our Southeast Texas Director Zoe Middleton told City Council the direct effect the I-45 expansion has on nearby residents.
Packed into the Roots Community Revitalization Center, the Alliance Of East Lubbock Neighborhood Association and Guadalupe Neighborhood Association are working together to discuss the city’s Analysis Of Impediment and Consolidated Plan. The city put out a draft of this plan that lacked adequate community participation and failed to focus on important issues to East and North Lubbock, including the high concentration of environmental hazards in these areas. —— 📸: Dunbar-Manhattan Neighborhood Association
Today is the day to let your voice be heard and ensure that affordable housing is a top priority for your local leaders. As a part of the #OurHomesOurVoices campaign, we are joining the @nlihc and countless others to mobilize our mission to make sure Congress reject any proposed cuts to housing benefits and instead work to lift the low spending caps and fully invest in affordable housing resources that help low income families keep a roof over their heads. Call the U.S Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to be connected to your Senator or House rep, and let them know that affordable housing is a top priority not just for you, but for building a successful community for all. Unsure of what to say? The sample script in our Instagram Bio could help express some of the most essential elements of why an investment and commitment in affordable housing is necessary for our communities. Let’s protect and expand affordable housing!
Episode 11 of our podcast is out today. John and Christina talk to analyst J.T. Harechmak about Low Income Housing Tax Credits. 🏘 It’s the program that produces the most new affordable housing in the country and it’s run by the IRS. 💰 We discuss who gets left behind when a program is often driven by business interests.🚨 Spoiler alert: it’s the people who need the most help getting housed. Link in bio.
Episode 10 of the Texas Housers podcast is out now. John and Christina interview guests from the Housing Authority of the City of Austin and American Gateways about how HUD’s latest proposed rule could threaten to separate mixed-status families and evict tens of thousands of U.S. citizen children. Link in bio.
“Most investors are not in the community development business. They are out to make a profit first and community development concerns are secondary, if they exist at all. If responsible community development goals aren’t required, then they probably aren’t getting done.” READ: Opportunity Zones were supposed to aid struggling areas. This luxury high rise using the program yet again only serves the wealthy 📖 Link In Bio
Episode 9 of A Little Louder on Galveston’s Subsidized Housing Crisis is a available now! LINK IN BIO
Texas Housers co-director John Henneberger spent the weekend welcoming the 2018 class of MacArthur Fellows at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Wingspread Home in Racine, Wisc. A 2014 fellow himself, he had the opportunity to learn about new projects ranging from cutting edge art about America’s historical race relations to first time longitudinal studies on the lives of transgender children to astrophysics on the origin on the earth and the moon. It was inspiring to be among such creative and inquisitive minds.
Community members packed into the #fifthward Multi-Service Center on Wednesday night to speak out about the creosote contamination from the nearby North East Rail Yard. The results of this contamination have been deadly, and the timespan and scope of the effects are still not truly known. Representatives from Union Pacific as well as local government were in attendance, as residents demanded answers and an in-depth study.
