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:
