Guided by our commitment to public service and our unwavering duty to ensure that all Harris County residents are served equitably, Precinct One staff has been on the ground in the neighborhoods responding to the needs of the individuals and communities we serve since the Coronavirus pandemic began.
Inequalities that existed well before this crisis have caused many Precinct One residents to be some of the first and hardest hit. Under-employment, the lack of living wages and worker protections, food deserts, and reduced access to healthcare already existed in many communities within Precinct One. When paired with a global pandemic, those conditions have been exacerbated. We are working with community partners to best meet the needs of those we are privileged to serve.
