Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Applauds the Opening of the Independence Heights Apartments and Commends All Stakeholders for helping Houstonians Attain Affordable Housing
Jackson Lee—“Hurricane Harvey is the largest housing disaster to strike the U.S. in our nation’s history. The storm and resulting flooding damaged 203,000 homes, of which 12,700 were destroyed, and many more were condemned by the State of Texas in Harvey’s aftermath. Clearly, this impacted the needs of and demands on families trying to raise their children, and seniors in need of public housing. The building we celebrate today is not only a compliment to the leadership of the Independence Heights Apartments and its neighbors, but also a compliment to Mayor Turner and to the Houston Housing Authority’s commitment to fight against elimination of housing units for hardworking families and seniors.”
