Keep Communities United
We strive to keep communities united in the face of public infrastructure projects, particularly highway expansions that displace families and exacerbate climate change.
Overview
Advocacy plays a key role in amplifying the voices of communities of color that have repeatedly been torn apart by systemic racism in urban and transportation planning. The North Houston Highway Improvement Project (or I-45 North expansion) and other, similar projects displace residents and divide communities from one another and from needed services.
The North Houston Highway Improvement Project would displace: 160 single-family residences, 433 multi-family residential units,486 public and low-income housing units, 344 businesses,5 places of worship, and 2 schools.
