Virtual Meeting
Fall 2026 Community Meeting
HCD took the conversation to District K with Mayor Pro Tem and District K Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum and At-Large Position 2 Council Member Willie Davis—and we got down to business!
From intentional conversations and connections with City departments to activities and Q&A, we connected, listened, and heard directly from you. Now, we’re taking the conversation virtual to make sure everyone has a chance to join us.
Let’s close out the year together as we review HCD’s 2025 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), gather your feedback to help inform our work for the coming year, and hear what matters most to Houston communities.
