HCD recently joined @AvenueCDC and partners to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Fulton & James! This small, mixed-income rental development includes four new single-family homes, offering affordable options for households earning 30%-80% of AMI in Houston’s Near Northside. Located at Fulton and James Street, residents will enjoy access to the METRO Light Rail, Wesley Community Center, Carnegie Neighborhood Library, and more. With a $1.9M investment from the City of Houston Housing and Community Development, this project stands as a testament to partnership, commitment, and purposeful action. Together with Avenue CDC and dedicated partners, we’re delivering quality affordable housing that makes a lasting impact in our community.
