Where We Live
The TIRZ 18 Fifth Ward board meets monthly to oversee infrastructure reinvestment in Houston's historic Fifth Ward neighborhood. Board meetings are open to the public and cover community revitalization, affordable housing preservation, drainage improvements, and streetscape investments in this historically significant African American neighborhood northeast of downtown. Fifth Ward residents are especially encouraged to attend and provide public comment on projects affecting their community.
