SPedigoA 149-unit development that will provide affordable housing for unhoused people broke ground this week in Midtown. The $45 million complex, being developed by the nonprofit NHP Foundation, is expected to open in May of 2024.
The Houston region's main strategy for reducing homelessness is moving people into permanent housing, coupled with support services such as social workers, healthcare and employment resources. Since 2011, the region's yearly count of the homeless population suggests the strategy has been a success. Houston, Harris County and their partner organizations have reduced, by 64 percent, the number of people staying in shelters or in cars, tents or other places not meant for habitation in Harris and Fort Bend counties.
