Tonight, I stopped by a tragic auto accident on Memorial Dr. I want to thank our first responders for their swift actions to help the victims. This was a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile life is on our roads. Houston, please slow down, stay alert, and drive safely.

Great news! HUD has approved the City’s $315M DR24 Draft Action Plan following last year’s Derecho and Hurricane Beryl. This funding supports long-term recovery efforts. Thank you to HUD, our stakeholders, and the community for helping make this possible.
