The Houston Heights Association
The Houston Heights Association (HHA) is one organization in the town that seeks to encourage and promote the enhancement of the Heights in Houston community. They are a non-profit organization that has been around since 1973, proving to be the driving force behind Houston Heights real estate and neighborhood revitalization. The HHA seeks to address the scope of neighborhood needs from deed restrictions, community assistance, and crime reduction. It also seeks to beautify, revitalize, and preserve the community's history.
Along with the HHA, the City of Houston, Planning and Development Department has made major progress toward preserving Houston's history. Preservation of the Heights in Houston's valuable historic resources provides visible reminders of the community's culture and heritage, while strengthening civic pride and enhancing economic prosperity.
