Help shape the future of Harris County: Share your ideas at a community meeting on April 10

We all have a stake in making sure our communities are safe, healthy, and thriving. Working toward that vision, Harris County has embarked on a strategic planning process to help guide our work for the next five years. And we want to hear from YOU on these issues and about YOUR priorities for our next five years.

Please consider stopping by one of four upcoming Precinct One Community Engagement Meetings to share your feedback on:

  • Justice and safety
  • Climate and environmental justice
  • Healthcare for all
  • Transportation and infrastructure
  • Housing for all
  • Economic opportunity

All four community meetings will take place on Wednesday, April 10, and participants can drop in at any location between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to share input. Translators will be available for Spanish speakers. Locations are:

  • Julia C. Hester House (2020 Solo Street, Houston, Texas 77020)
  • Lincoln Community Center (979 Grenshaw St, Houston, TX 77088)
  • Alexander Deussen Senior Center (12303 Sonnier St Houston, TX 77044)

Our team at Precinct One has been working hard to make our communities stronger and to uplift all of Harris County. Everyday we’re making progress and working to:

  • Create paths to prosperity and connect people to the opportunities, assistance, and resources they need to thrive.
  • Make our communities safer with historic and strategic investments in community health and public safety. 
  • Reduce health disparities and ensure people have access to care and treatment they need and deserve.
  • Build resilient infrastructure, safer roads, and multi-modal transportation options; improve access to parks and greenspace; and protect communities from flooding.
  • Prepare our communities for protect them from disasters, pollution, environmental injustice and climate change.
