survey is conducted by the Mayor’s Health Equity Response (H.E.R.) Initiative and Task Force.

The H.E.R. Initiative and Task Force, which was launched in April 2020 by Mayor Turner, is a vital component of the City of Houston’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Effort, especially for vulnerable and at-risk populations.

“I started the H.E.R. Task Force to push more resources into the Houston neighborhoods that are most at-risk for community spread of the COVID-19 disease,” said Mayor Turner.

“The Task Force is committed to its mission and is working with the Mayor’s Office and the Houston Health Department to identify rapid responses the City can take to support its most vulnerable residents’ health and wellbeing.

The H.E.R. Task Force is working to address health inequities and access by accelerating the data-driven, targeted and rapid response for residents in 22 priority Super Neighborhoods, which include Acres Home, Denver Harbor, Eastex-Jensen, Fifth Ward, Gulfton, Independence Heights, Kashmere Gardens, Sunnyside and Third Ward.
