Houston Heights Association · Since 1973
A volunteer-led nonprofit built by neighbors, for neighbors. We protect what makes the Heights worth living in — and have been doing it for over fifty years.
The Houston Heights Association was formed when neighbors came together to stop the loss of the Heights' historic housing stock. Today we fund parks, enforce deed restrictions, run community events, and keep the neighborhood connected — entirely through member support and volunteer effort. No professional staff. No outside agenda. Just neighbors.

What We Do
The Houston Heights Association promotes and fosters friendship, goodwill, and community spirit within and around Houston Heights. Proceeds from membership dues, sponsorships, donations, and fundraising events go directly into the community — for beautification, restoration, and maintenance of Heights Boulevard, Marmion and Donovan parks, and the Historic Houston Heights Fire Station.
The HHA is also the driving force behind the neighborhood's ongoing revitalization, addressing community needs including deed restrictions, crime prevention through the Constable Patrol Program, and land use advocacy to protect the character of the Heights.
Our Vision
"For the Houston Heights to be recognized as a diverse, small town community in the heart of Houston, where neighbors and businesses thrive, children learn and play, and history lives."
The HHA is governed by a volunteer board of directors elected annually by the membership. Board meetings are open to all neighbors — held the third Monday of every month at 6:30 pm at the Historic Houston Heights Fire Station, 107 W. 12th Street.
How We're Organized
Individual, household, and business memberships fund everything the HHA does. No government money. No corporate underwriters. Dues go directly into the neighborhood.
27 volunteer committees run the day-to-day work — from boulevard beautification and the Fun Run to land use monitoring, education grants, and the annual Home Tour.
The HHA stewards the Historic Fire Station, Marmion Park, and Donovan Park — maintaining them as community assets available for events and everyday neighborhood life.
The HHA monitors zoning proposals, enforces deed restrictions, funds the Constable Patrol Program, and represents the neighborhood before the City of Houston.
Since 1973
Membership funds the parks, the advocacy, and the community that makes the Heights worth preserving.
