š Houston Housing Authority Shake-Up: Whatās Next? š§
š Affordable Housing in Houston: Challenges Ahead š°
The Houston Housing Authority (HHA) has found itself in the spotlight amid leadership changes and mounting scrutiny over its practices. David Northern, who served as president and CEO since February 2022, resigned this week in the wake of an investigation into his duties and decision-making. Letās break down the story and what it could mean for Houstonās housing future.
Northernās resignation comes with a severance package of six monthsā salary and health insurance. His departure follows a period of intense scrutiny, including an investigation into HHAās contracting practices and Northernās performance. The investigation also looked into whether Northern fulfilled his fiduciary duties.
Adding to the tension, federal agents recently tested soil samples at The Pointe at Bayou Bend, an HHA property near a contaminated incinerator site in the East End. This raised questions about past leadership decisions, with Mayor John Whitmire calling the projectās location a mistake and accusing HHA of withholding critical information from its board.
With Northern stepping down, Jennine Hovell-Cox, HHAās general counsel, has been appointed interim president and CEO. Mayor Whitmire expressed confidence in the board's efforts to bring transparency and accountability to the organization. This leadership shake-up follows Whitmireās earlier move to replace five of the seven HHA board members earlier this year.
This isnāt the first time HHA has faced criticism. Last year, questions arose about its use of Public Facility Corporations (PFCs), which enable tax breaks for affordable housing properties. However, a Houston Chronicle analysis revealed that only 1% of these tax-exempt units served low-income residents. The authority was also found to have missed out on millions of dollars in project fees.
The resignation of David Northern signals a potential turning point for the HHA. With new leadership in place and ongoing investigations, Houston residents and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how the authority addresses past missteps and rebuilds trust.
The housing challenges facing the cityāfrom homelessness to affordable housing shortagesārequire a transparent and strategic approach. As Houston continues to grow, ensuring accountability within the HHA will be crucial for meeting the needs of its most vulnerable populations.
