Cuney Homes Basketball Court Renovation

Our ceremony at the Cuney Homes Basketball Court was a great way to kickstart all that’s to come for Cuney Homes. The kids at Cuney Homes were filled with excitement when Basketball Court Muralist Henry Agim () opened the first can of paint to start creating the new court mural. Sakara Ross (Owner, SNR Construction) and Folade Madzimoyo (HHA, Community Engagement Coordinator) joined in on the fun and helped to prime the court. Follow us and look out for an invitation to the upcoming court opening and more improvements coming soon to Cuney Homes.

We rise for our future!

What a turnout! Cuney residents packed the room to share their ideas for the Cuney Homes Food Pantry and vote on an official name for it. As a thank you to all who showed up, 50 people received free Thanksgiving turkeys 🥰🦃 from the
Food for Thought Turkey Giveaway.

Thank you to Shannon Shorter and the "It’s Only Right Foundation" for donating the Turkeys and passing them out to our Cuney residents. What a special gift ahead of the holiday season.

Third Ward - Cuney Choice Neighborhood Initiative

The youth at Cuney Homes learned about the importance of higher education and preparing for their career future. HHA partnered with E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Inc to host the College & Career Readiness Learn and Earn event. This program provides educational support services for middle and high school.

E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Inc is traveling across the U.S. for these events. The goal is to make an impact on students to encourage continued learning and education. As a bonus, their stop in Houston included taking kids to the Texas Southern vs. Grambling game to close out their experience.
