The shortage of affordable, accessible housing in Corpus Christi and the wider Coastal Bend communities since the destruction of Hurricane Harvey is now under further threat by the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis is having devastating impacts on the health, social and economic wellbeing of all our citizens. Individuals and families with very low incomes are most at risk of eviction and homelessness during this uncertain time.
AHRI remains committed to supporting housing affordability, accessibility, and stability in the midst of this crisis and is in the process of increasing rental assistance support for lowest-income families in the Coastal Bend.
