A new affordable housing complex, The Lawndale, has officially opened in Houston’s East End, marking a significant milestone in the city’s efforts to support its essential workforce. This mixed-income community is strategically designed to provide accessible, affordable housing for those who are vital to keeping Houston running smoothly.
“We are proud to introduce The Lawndale as a crucial addition to Houston’s affordable housing landscape,” said David A. Northern, Sr., President and CEO of HHA. “It is one of the two affordable housing complexes available on this side of the city with easy access to key transportation routes and major job hubs like the Port of Houston, Hobby Airport, and Texas Medical Center, ensuring that our residents can live close to where they work.”
To commemorate the occasion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with the Houston Housing Authority (HHA), U.S. Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, U.S. Senator Carol Alvarado, and Councilmembers Tiffany Thomas and Joaquin Martinez.
Over half of the 106 residences at The Lawndale are designated for any HHA-qualifying families and residents. Due to its proximity to key urban locations, property is primed to service essential workers, offering affordable housing in locations close to their places of employment. This new community not only addresses the immediate housing needs of Houston’s essential workers but also strengthens the city’s commitment to providing long-term support and stability for those who play a crucial role in the city’s day-to-day operations.
