What to Expect at a Super Neighborhood Meeting

Super Neighborhoods are the city's official neighborhood-level advisory bodies — 88 of them across Houston. Each has a council of elected residents who meet regularly with city departments, review development applications, advise their Council Member, and advocate for neighborhood priorities.

Super Neighborhood meetings are open to all residents. They are one of the most direct ways to influence what happens on your streets.

What Super Neighborhoods do:

• Advise City Council Members on neighborhood issues
• Review and comment on development applications
• Identify priorities for bond projects and capital improvements
• Coordinate with city departments (Public Works, Parks, HPD, HFD)
• Host community meetings and events

How they work: Each Super Neighborhood has an elected council with officers (president, VP, secretary, treasurer). Anyone who lives or works in the area can participate. Elections are held according to the council's bylaws.

This is where neighborhood power lives. When a Super Neighborhood council formally requests a streetlight, a speed bump, or a park improvement, the city takes it seriously — because it represents an organized community, not just one voice.
