Your city hall is talking about family
So okay— H-Town on the wire, and this week the talk out of City Hall isn’t about zoning (because we don't have any, thankfully) or infrastructure, but something a little more personal: family. Houston Landing, our local non-profit newsroom, just held their "Final Storytellers Event" on Thursday, May 15th, and it was all about "The Meaning and Power of Family."
Wait wait wait, let me back up— I know it sounds a little touchy-feely for City Hall beat, but this stuff matters. It’s about how we talk about our lives here. You know what the wildest part is? This event came right alongside a pretty heartbreaking story they published on the same day, May 15th, about a Venezuelan family whose "hopes vanished" after the end of the CBP One program.
* The "Final Storytellers Event" focused on family narratives. * It took place on Thursday, May 15, 2025. * Houston Landing also highlighted the real-world impact on families with their story on the CBP One program.
It shows you the two sides of our city: the conversations we're having about what binds us, and the stark realities many families are facing right now, often trying to find their footing in a new place. It makes you wonder, how does City Hall plan to support these families who are navigating such difficult transitions?
H-Town on the wire — no limits, no zoning, no excuses.
