District J
Good Neighbor Program
The District J Neighborhood Service Program is an initiative designed to support the community’s most esteemed members: seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners. The program is a testament to our commitment to not only beautify our district but also to provide practical assistance to those who have given so much to the community and the country.
Our seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners are often at risk of violating city codes due to challenges in maintaining their property's exterior. Such situations not only place undue stress on our valued community members but also necessitate city resources for enforcement. Through this program, we proactively address these issues, reducing the need for code enforcement actions and fostering a spirit of community and care.
The Neighborhood Service Program aims to assist with minor exterior home repairs and landscaping, ensuring our seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners live in a safe and appealing environment. By partnering with the Southwest Management District and the Houston Planning Department, we are able to extend a helping hand to those in need, right at their doorsteps.
Homeowners or their representatives can be referred to the program through Homeowners Associations (HOAs), Civic Associations, or individual submissions. We encourage community members to spread the word, ensuring wide awareness and accessibility of this program.
Once a referral is received, our dedicated budget analyst will review the request against the program's allocated budget for each home. This ensures efficient use of resources while maximizing the program’s reach.
Approved projects will be scheduled for a pre-determined time, at which our team of professionals will perform the necessary work, transforming and maintaining the beauty of our neighborhood one home at a time.
To be eligible for this program, applicants must reside within the district and fall into one of the following categories: senior citizens, veterans, or disabled homeowners.
