Policy
Complete Communities: Building Better Neighborhoods
Houston is investing in neighborhoods to make them great places to live. The city is building new parks, sidewalks, health clinics, and job training centers in areas that need them most.
Policy
Easier Access to Doctors
This federal bill would make it easier for you to see a doctor, especially if you live in an area that does not have enough healthcare providers. It creates new ways to connect patients with the medical care they need.
Policy
Recognizing Homeschool Graduates
This federal bill makes sure that students who are homeschooled get official recognition when they finish their education. This makes it easier for them to apply to colleges and get jobs, just like students from other schools.
