Welcome to the Independence Heights Redevelopment Council website.

The Independence Heights Redevelopment Council is comprised of individuals representing various organizations, agencies and groups throughout Independence Heights. We work to preserve the historical and cultural aspects of the community as well as spearhead various revitalization projects.

Independence Heights is located in northwest Houston. The boundaries of Independence Heights lies between I-45 and Sheperd and the 610 Loop and Tidwell.

The neighborhood is historical because it is the first city incoporated by African Americans in the State of Texas.

The IHRC seeks to strengthen the neighborhood and improve the quality of life for residents of Independence Heights.

We invite you to explore our website and visit with member organizations to learn about the collective work we are doing in the community.
