Congratulating Change Happens CDC for beginning construction on two single-family homes as part of Midtown Houston's Southeast Houston Affordable Housing Initiative. These homes represent more than new construction. They represent opportunity, stability, and continued investment in the future of Third Ward.

Thank you to the many partners, community leaders, and residents who continue to support efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing in this historic community. Work like this takes collaboration and a shared commitment to ensuring that working families and longtime residents have the opportunity to remain and thrive in Third Ward.
