A new report from the Kinder Institute about the 2024 state of housing in Harris County and Houston, reveals just how pressing the need for affordable housing has become.

A Houston apartment that has received several complaints from its residents has not only abandoned the property but has now filed for foreclosure, leaving residents in the dark once again.

A spokesperson for the Department of Neighborhoods tells KPRC 2 the property owner of the Arlington Place Apartments in southeast Houston is abandoning the complex.

Residents at a Pasadena apartment complex that was without hot water and heat late last year told KPRC2 on Wednesday that conditions are improving.

Residents at Lakecrest Village Apartments in northeast Houston are frustrated after they say they spent the holiday weekend without running water.

Apartment tenants across Harris County have been expressing concerns about deplorable living conditions for months. And now, more are speaking up about problems they can’t live with much longer.

When KPRC2 visited the Sterlingshire Apartments, reporters spotted parts of some of the units blanketed with what appeared to be black mold, infested roaches, rodent feces, and some units with no air conditioner, running water and faulty appliances.

Community advocates and residents at an apartment complex in Conroe have been expressing their concern for unlivable conditions, which they say they have dealt with for years.
