Please stop the proposed low income housing projects in the East End. The east end is just beginning to be the gem it could be. These projects will set it back for another trip generations maybe longer.

I have lived in the East End all my life and I do not like what is happening. You have 24 hour AA club on Capitol/Forest Hill, Parkview Clinic is now a boarding house. You have the Open Door Mission on Harrisburg, Keep going down Harrisburg and you have New Hope , My sis lives on Wilmer, 2 blocks down is a halfway house. I have googled boarding houses and halfway houses and they are mostly in black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Would you see any of the above in River Oaks?? And these low income units bring more problems and more crime. Leave the east end alone, period.

These developments will be unfair to emergency service workers in our area! This is essentially the city of Houston stealing from their own employees. Our cops and firefighters will suffer drastically in our area!!

I love the east end area and there are big plans to make the area the next heights which will help schools in the area. We are a young married couple in the area and would love to have a good school in the area when we start a family. There are already several areas that have low income housing close to us, flooding the area with more with out dispersing the housing across Houston is the wrong thing to do. The low income housing should be through out Houston especially not on top of an area that was a lead manufacturer which will risk our water in the area. This was not well thought through and we should have the ability to vote on housing issues in the area.

East End has been a symbol of supporting the broader community by having several low income housing options (Clayton Homes, New Hope, etc..). However, the proposals would be take away the true diversity of the neighborhood by having too many low income housing units. The city would NEVER propose such units west of Downtown when those communities (Midtown, Heights, etc..) do not have near the number of units that already exist in the East End.

Please consider building somewhere else. There are already too many around within the same area. This will affect future development and the type of businesses the east river draws in order to revitalize the area.

As a new resident to the East End, there is great excitement for the improved infrastructure and the East River project. The proposed developments will halt the progress that is being made and prevent the East End from realizing its great potential.

I do feel any contractor should get tax breaks and I dont think the east ends deserves for tons of low income individuals to placed in such a high area.

Out city is finally becoming a destination spot for many travelers and business professionals. This is thanks in large part to the revitalization of Downtown and the East End. Unfortunately the first thing new visitors see when driving into downtown from the airport is our homeless problem. Soon we will have the East River project completed which will bring more visitors to the East End. Why does the city want to surround this project with more low income housing? Sounds like a recipe for disaster for business and home owners. This will not be as convenient as the World Series where you can hide the homeless for a week at a time.

Smaller public housing communities spread throughout the city rather than concentrating in a general area would be of most benefit to the well-being of the residents.
