District K: September Community Update

From September 15 to October 15, we join communities across the country in honoring the rich history, vibrant culture, and countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

District K is proud to celebrate the traditions and stories that make our city so unique. This month is a time to reflect, learn, and uplift the voices that have shaped Houston’s past and continue to inspire its future.

Let’s celebrate together! Share your favorite stories, recipes, music, and art as we highlight the incredible diversity that makes our community stronger.

The City of Houston’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) is now accepting applications for its 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Multifamily Rehabilitation Program. This funding is designed to help developers bring new life to affordable multifamily housing—by rehabilitating existing properties or acquiring and upgrading them for families in need.

If you’re a developer passionate about creating safe, quality, affordable housing for low- to moderate-income residents, this is a great opportunity to get involved.
