Housing Authority of the City Brownsville
Description
In true Brownsville fashion, it all started with a fiesta. On September 7, 2016, The Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville (HACB) held an outdoor Choice Neighborhoods (CN) kick-off celebration attended by over 500 local residents. Since then, over 60 meetings, events
and activities have generated incredible excitement and momentum towards positive change in the Buena Vida Choice Neighborhood. Along the way, significant local capacity has been built that will ensure implementation success.
