    New housing complex for the Men's Center. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ahp-grant-to-help-mens-center-build-new-housing-complex-in-houston-300141578.html The grant will help the Houston-based nonprofit build a $12.2 million, 56-unit housing complex for men and women ages 18 and older who are recovering from substance abuse and other crisis situations. The project is in the permitting stage and is expected to begin construction soon at 3809 Main Street in an area of Houston known as Midtown. The housing complex will replace The Men's Center's two main buildings that face Main Street, which will be torn down. http://www.hrc.hctx.net/news/ Meanwhile, Phase II, The Hope Center, is slated to begin this year. It will replace the original central facility in front of downtown's light rail. The new building will include office space for staff including the new case managers, a dining hall, and conference rooms for groups that meet regularly at the Center, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, and Narcotics Anonymous.

    The City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department moved to a “housing first” model to tackle homelessness in 2011, and set the goal to build, renovate or convert 2,500 units of permanent supportive housing. The method focuses on getting people into permanent housing (not shelters) and then providing services to get them sober and/or healthy. Director Neal Rackleff (pictured with the team spearheading homelessness initiatives, Melody Barr and Susan Speer) tells us the city has completed or started 2,510 units since. That includes 12 new construction projects totaling 766 units and $44M of funding from HCDD. The outcome: Houston has housed 2,744 people in the last four years, chronic homelessness (people homeless for longer than a year or more than three times in the last four years) is down 70%, and overall homelessness has dropped 50%. Neal’s most excited about our progress with veterans—Houston was recognized this year by President Obama as one of two large cities that have virtually eradicated veteran homelessness. (Pictured is that recognition ceremony.) 3,917 homeless vets have been housed in the last four years, and there are homes available for more.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/11/how-houston-can-avoid-a-negative-moodys-downgrade.html But earlier this month, the financial advisory firm issued a report that, in summation, breaks down how the city’s economy has remained resilient despite its $3.2 billion pension obligation. Financial experts said the report may have been too favorable to the state of Houston's economy, which is still being weighed down by its massive pension bloat. "(The report) continues to confuse the region’s performance with the city's performance," Noteware said. "All of these positive economic indicators are region-based, and they don’t apply to the city. (It is) measuring the wrong thing. That’s so fundamental, it’s almost like this report is trying to be a shill and prop Houston up inappropriately."

    LIST OF CONTENDERS NARROWED FOR HOUSTON HIGH-SPEED RAIL DEPOT The Federal Railroad Administration has narrowed the list of options for the Houston depot of the planned high-speed rail from Dallas to Houston. Officials have eliminated both possible options that would have led the track to a depot in the CBD due to concerns over possible environmental damage in densely populated areas. The intersection of Highway 290 and Loop 610 appears to be the most likely contender for Houston’s depot, with the route likely ending around Northwest Mall, the Dallas Business Journal reports. Construction on the line is slated to begin in 2017, with the first trains estimated to be running by 2021. The trains will travel at speeds of 205 mph and be able to transport passengers from Dallas to Houston in 90 minutes, with the capacity to make 68 trips a day between the two cities. Texas Central Partners, the company behind the project, estimates the high-speed rail could have $36B of potential economic benefits by 2040.

    This is from a March 2015 article. https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/multifamily/montrose-still-has-a-huge-pipeline-45952 Camden McGowen Station Developer: Camden Units: 315 Move-ins: January 2017 Camden boldly started its Midtown community amid falling oil prices at the end of 2014. Since little else started around that time, CEO Ric Campo says there will be a gap in deliveries in 2017, and this property will be there to fill it.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/11/houston-tourism-sees-first-impact-after-hero.html As of Nov. 6, Waterman said that he's heard from four "fairly large," citywide customers that are concerned about what HERO's loss means for Houston. These customers could be conventions or events in Houston, and are “thousand-plus” customers, Waterman said, meaning that on their peak nights, more than 1,000 hotels rooms in Houston are booked for the event. "We're not putting a timeline on it, but Houston has to have some sort of equal rights ordinance in place in the next six months to a year," Waterman said.
