COVID-19 recovery resources and essential city services
The Department of Neighborhoods (DON) announces Neighborhood Updates, a new way for Houstonians to stay informed of COVID-19 recovery resources, essential city services, and seasonal advisories via telephone voice and text messages in English and Spanish.
The new service is especially catered to seniors, persons with disabilities who require communications by voice or text, and residents who prefer information in Spanish.
As the city fights the coronavirus pandemic, Neighborhood Updates will give priority to notifications about COVID-19 testing, health safety practices, and recovery resources.
