Houston Civic Organizations
Civic Organizations are instrumental in the positive change and growth of the Houston area. They seek to preserve the character and safety of the neighborhood in the face of such obstacles as absentee landlords, suburban flight, and crime. Many organizations, businesses, and individuals have their roots in or have experienced growth in Houston due to their involvement in civic organizations. Today Houston stands embracing the future as new residents continue the mission of bringing energy, vitality, and diversity to the area.
