TONIGHT'S MEETING IS CANCELLED & WILL BE RESCHEDULED

Braeburn Neighborhood Resilience Planning: Vision Into Action Meeting

Join us for a virtual meeting on Thursday, July 11 at 6:30 P. M. During the meeting, we will present an overview of the Neighborhood Resilience Plan and discuss the next steps for project implementation, led by the Planning and Development Department.

Your participation and valuable input are highly anticipated as we move forward with these important projects.


BRAEBURN NEIGHBORHOOD RESILIENCE PLANNING




The Braeburn Neighborhood Resilience Plan is the result of a 10-month engagement process with the Braeburn community. It includes the vision and goals expressed by the community, a brief community history, existing conditions analysis, a description of the approach to community engagement, projects developed to further the vision and goals that will increase resilience, and the tools that lay the foundation for implementation.


This plan also guides and supports decision-making for local investments in physical infrastructure, programs, and policies. The Braeburn Neighborhood Resilience Plan provides the foundation for forming collaborative partnerships with local government, philanthropy, community-based groups, and other organizations. The plan establishes a clear vision that the community can use to get organized and outlines a process which various stakeholders can use to collaborate with the community to achieve shared goals. It does so by defining projects and programs for the neighborhood to plan for resilience challenges.

Neighborhood Resilience Planning Public Meeting #3

Thank you for attending our final public meeting at the Bayland Community Center. We truly appreciate your support and dedication to OUR community. Your presence at the March 7th public meeting has made a valuable impact on the success of this event, and we are grateful for your participation. Together, we can continue to make positive change in Braeburn. The Braeburn Neighborhood Resilience Plan is forthcoming, we look forward to sharing it with you soon.







Neighborhood Resilience Planning is underway in the Braeburn Super Neighborhood

Neighborhood Resilience Plans are a crucial step towards realizing the vision established in Resilient Houston, the citywide resilience plan unveiled in 2020. So, the Braeburn community is partnering with the City of Houston to create a neighborhood-scale plan that can help address resilience issues specific to the area within the boundaries of the Braeburn Super Neighborhood. More information about the program is available here.

Community participation in the year-long planning process is critical to creating a successful plan. A Neighborhood Support Team (NST) made up of community leaders has been established to provide input on what's already happening, areas of concern, meeting locations, and agendas. Most importantly, they serve as ambassadors by encouraging participation from everyone in the community.

The first phase of the planning process is to identify issues and opportunities. These are the things that are loved in the community or are going well and things that need to be addressed. This was the focus of the first public meeting held on Thursday, July 13, 2023, and we learned a lot.

It's not too late to join the conversation. Use this Issues and Opportunities interactive map to identify places or things you love and places that need attention.

Take a moment to respond to a short Vision and Purpose Survey to tell us more about your community.
