Concerted Revitalization Area (CRA)


Concerted Revitalization Area (CRA) are areas in Harris County that were once vital but have lapsed into a condition requiring concerted revitalization and where a plan has been developed and executed for its improvement and recovery. After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Harris County Community Services Department (HCCSD) developed a Needs Assessment Plan that analyzed the effects of the disaster on several significantly impacted areas of the county. These areas, particularly in low-income neighborhoods, displayed a high level of impact on already low-quality affordable housing. To assist in the revitalization of these areas, HCCSD wishes to focus on housing developer's interest in these areas that have high-unmet affordable housing needs thus increasing and improving the supply of affordable housing. The following CRAs have been approved for multi-family and single-family affordable housing development:

    1. Barrett-Highlands CRA (Precinct 2)
    2. Bammel-Westfield CRA (Precinct 4)
    3. Generation Park CRA (Precinct 1)
    4. Greater Greenspoint-Aldine CRA (Precinct 1 & 2)
    5. Huffmeister-Emerald Forest CRA (Precinct 3 & 4)
    6. Sheldon CRA (Precinct 1)
    7. Cloverleaf CRA (Precinct 2)
    8. McNair and Linus CRA (Precinct 2)
