Houston council approves $18.6 million dollar grant for affordable housing, but it didn’t come without criticism because of property owners involved.
Houston council approved an $18 million grant towards supportive housing for the homeless. However, the developer of the project is coming under scrutiny with some saying it’s not taking proper care of the projects it’s already in charge of.
“First of all, you have Clemen Manor as an apartment complex with people living over there, it’s not the dog pound unless they hadn’t checked their memo lately cause they’re treating them like a dog pound,” said Sandra Edwards with Impact Fifth Ward. Turner said the city couldn’t switch developers without losing the $18 million grant. He said the General Land Office funded the city the money to go towards affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness. The county has approved putting $10 million towards the housing project.STATEMENT REGARDING CLEME MANOR ISSUES
