In true Brownsville fashion, it all started with a fiesta. On September 7, 2016, The Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville (HACB) held an outdoor Choice Neighborhoods (CN) kick-off celebration attended by over 500 local residents. Since then, over 50 meetings, events and activities have generated incredible excitement and momentum towards positive change in the Buena Vida Choice Neighborhood. Along the way, significant local capacity has been built that will ensure implementation success.
HACB and the City of Brownsville (COB) have partnered to lead efforts to transform the Buena Vida public housing complex (Buena Vida Development) and the surrounding Buena Vida neighborhood into a vibrant and resilient community of opportunity and choice.
