Details about the redistricting process can be found on the Planning and Development Department’s website and in this committee presentation. Please view page 9 of the presentation to see what the 2020 Census determined current populations of all Council Districts to be and why District H will need boundary adjustments to come into compliance.

En boletines recientes, se anunció que la reunión comunitaria del Distrito H se llevaría a cabo el jueves 7 de abril. El equipo del Distrito H acaba de enterarse que se ha cambiado la fecha. La reunión comunitaria del Distrito H ahora se llevará a cabo el lunes 25 de abril, en persona en el Centro Comunitario del Parque Moody (3725 Fulton, Houston 77009) y también virtualmente en Microsoft Teams.

Los objetivos de las Reuniones comunitarias de la Ciudad son para recibir participación del público sobre la redistribución de distritos y compartir información sobre Proyectos de Mejoras de Capital.
 
Los detalles sobre el proceso de redistribución de distritos se pueden encontrar en el sitio web del Departamento de Planificación y Desarrollo y en esta presentación del comité. Consulte la página 9 de la presentación para ver cómo el Censo de 2020 determinó las poblaciones actuales de todos los Distritos del Consejo de la ciudad; y por qué el Distrito H necesitará ajustes de límites para cumplir los requisitos.
