As the demand for vital affordable housing in Houston and Harris County continues to grow, Harris County Redevelopment Authority (HCRDA) is proud to celebrate construction breaking ground on much-needed new affordable housing projects.
The 1430 Upland Drive, now named after civil rights leader, Frumencio Reyes Jr., is a new apartment building that will include 120 units. Located in the Spring Branch area, the building will offer a mix of efficiency, studio, one, two and three-bedroom units and be affordable to those at 30-80 percent of the area median income. HCRDA in partnership with the Harris County Housing and Community Development provided $7.4 million in ARPA funds for the $36 million project.

HCRDA partnered with the Harris County Housing & Community Development Department and the Cesar Chavez Foundation to move the Upland project forward. The Harris County Housing Finance Corporation (HCHFC) also partnered with the Cesar Chavez Foundation to fund a second new construction affordable housing building, at 300 Tidwell, now named after Felix Z Fraga, which will feature 99 units for seniors (aged 55 years +).
With the start of these two new constructions, HCRDA and HCHFC continue their missions to expand quality affordable housing options to families and seniors across the City and County.
