Harris County, TX Regional Assessment of Fair Housing

We completed an Assessment of Fair Housing for Harris County, Galveston, Missouri City, Pasadena, and the two housing authorities in the Greater Houston region.  The study focused on the fair housing challenges unique to each jurisdiction, with Segregation, Disproportionate Housing Needs, Access to Opportunity, Disability and Access, and Fair Housing Enforcement analyzed at both the regional and jurisdictional level. Pop- up engagement activities include surveys and discussions with residents at an African American homecoming event, tables at local fairs and rodeos, and a presentation at a back to school event in a low income neighborhood. This study resulted in a regional fair housing plan and action items for each participating party used for Five-year Consolidated Planning.
