2025 419 Emancipation Operator

The City of Houston’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) is seeking applications from qualified nonprofit organizations and local government entities to operate the facility at 419 Emancipation Avenue for a period of three years. The project will be supported by approximately $30 million in funding from CDBG-Disaster Recovery 24 and additional local sources of funding. The facility will function as a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, easy entry resource and stabilization center, offering trauma-informed, short-term housing and immediate access to services. It will serve as a safe entry point for individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness, providing connections to appropriate interventions, rapid resolution strategies, and stabilization services to address complex needs. The primary outcome for all participants is a transition to permanent housing and to provide sustainable life skills.
