Hurricane Beryl Recovery Update
District K Neighbors,

While power has been restored for many of you, I understand the frustration of those who are still without power. We will continue working with CenterPoint until every resident has their power restored. The ongoing challenges and frustration were addressed at Monday’s Special Council Meeting. You can see part of the discussion in the video below.

For residents still without power, please note the 3 cooling and charging locations in District K:

  • Shannon Walker Library – 5505 Belrose Dr, Houston, TX 77035
  • Hiram Clarke Multi-service Center – 3810 West Fuqua St., Houston, TX 77045
  • Blue Ridge Neighborhood Library – 7007 West Fuqua St., Houston, TX 77489

In service,

Martha
