HHEC acquired Las Americas Apartments a (552 unit complex) from HUD in
1995. From 1997 to 2000 Las Americas underwent three major phases of
construction. The first phase included bringing the buildings up to code for
safety. The second phase included 9.3 million dollars in remodeling the interior
as well as the exterior of all the buildings. The third phase included the building
of a 2.3 million dollar educational facility which sits on the property at Las
Americas. This three story educational facility has approximately 28,000 square
feet and is fully equipped with a science lab, a full functioning kitchen, major
theater entertainment equipment, and has surveillance cameras that monitor
activity throughout the exterior of the school and surrounding complex. The
Houston Independent School District teaches its curriculum to 350 students at
the complex including Pre-K, Kinder, and middle school children from 6 to 8th
graders.
This model project was recognized by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) as a model for other low income housing apartments
to emulate.
