Just A Strolling To The Avenue Center Groundbreaking

Houston is beautiful.  It is full of beautiful and awesome people.  TWWIM picked me up and drove me part of the way to the groundbreaking.  Avenue has been working in the Northside for a good while now.  Many homeowners have been helped to make their homes more livable but also building new affordable homes and affordable multifamily buildings close to transit.  This building will allow all of their services to be in one location plus many other partners to be in this same place easily reached by the red line, the Irvington bus and for some of us just a stroll away to help us and the community be healthy.  There will also be a chance for many of us to help with this effort.
