The Houston Housing Authority recently revitalized Kennedy Place, located at 3100 Gillespie in Houston's historic Fifth Ward, with $7.8 million in federal stimulus funds and other funds.  Originally occupied in 1982, the former 60-unit development was demolished in December 2009 and was completed January 2011.

HHA Improves its Customer Service

In its efforts to improve customer service the Houston Housing Authority has made a number of improvements to the Agency's first floor lobby area.  The changes are making it easier for applicants, voucher holders and property owners to do business with us.

  • We stopped asking people to stand in line while waiting to visit with a member of our staff.  A new ticketing system allows visitors to sit and relax until their number is called.
  • We created an express drop off process so that clients can bypass the ticketing system when they only need to drop off documents and get a receipt.
  • We created a Landlord Express Line for property owners to drop off Requests for Tenancy Approval documents without having to take a ticket or wait in line.
  • We added computer kiosks to the lobby area giving applicants and clients the opportunity to research housing options while they wait to meet with a member of our staff.
  • We added lobby staff including a Housing Specialist and a full-time supervisor.

We also spruced the lobby up by replacing the flooring, painting the walls, and replacing the worn furniture. To top it off the walls are decorated with artwork created by children from our Public Housing developments who participated in HHR's arts enrichment program, The Black Frame Project.
