We are honored to share that Houston Community Land Trust has been selected as a semi-finalist for the 2026 Pinnacle Mickey Leland Public Leadership Award from the Greater Houston Black Chamber.

This award is named in honor of Congressman Mickey Leland, whose life reflected service, courage, and unwavering advocacy for the most vulnerable among us. It honors organizations doing the sustained work of building a more just Houston, work that often happens quietly but reaches far beyond the communities we serve.

This recognition belongs to our staff, our board, our community partners, and most importantly, the families who trust us to steward land and opportunity for generations to come.

Join us in celebrating throughout Pinnacle season, starting with the Pinnacle Kickoff Reception on August 31, 2026, and continuing to the 29th Annual Pinnacle Awards and Gala on November 14, 2026.

Congratulations to all of this year’s semi-finalists. We are proud to be in such good company.

We are still sitting with the conversations that happened in Atlanta this weekend.

If you are not familiar, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is one of the largest gatherings of Black journalists in the country. Our Executive Director, Dr. Ashley Allen, spent this past weekend there, taking part in two panels.

Both conversations came back to the same idea: a community’s story is not finished until a journalist takes the time to tell it right, with care and with the people who actually live it front and center.

One panel dug into how reporters cover gentrification responsibly. The other looked at what happens when historic Black neighborhoods suddenly become tourist destinations, and who controls that narrative.

Thank you to the moderators and panelists who brought honesty and depth to both conversations.

With NABJ27 headed to Houston next year, we cannot wait to have these journalists in our city.

From Houston to Martha’s Vineyard.

Community land trusts look different in every place they take root, but the mission stays the same. Our executive director, Ashley Allen, met with Island Housing Trust CEO Philippe Jordi.

We’re proud to be part of a growing network of Community Land Trusts across the country, each doing this work in their own way, all rooted in the same belief.

Thank you, Philippe, for sharing the great work you and your team are doing on the Island.

Texas CLTs are building something together.

Houston. Fort Worth. Austin. Three cities. Three organizations. One shared belief that permanent affordability is possible when the right people are in the room working toward it.

When CLTs across Texas come together to share ideas, learn from one another, and talk honestly about the work, everyone leaves stronger for it. That exchange is how the movement grows.

HCLT is proud to be part of a network that is doing exactly that.

The CLT network in Texas is growing. And we are just getting started.

Nothing like community accountability to get you moving.

Neighbors, homeowners and friends showed up for Cardio Yoga Abs and put in the work together, sweating it out with Coach Dale on cardio and abs, stretching it out with Ricky Broga on yoga, and staying motivated thanks to Facilitators Romell Horton and Candyce Babb.

Thank you to everyone who joined us & our vendors!
