The Land and Legacy Project is a community focused initiative that helps families in Kashmere Gardens protect their homes, resolve property issues, and build long term stability through legal, housing, and financial resources.
This project is designed for residents of Kashmere Gardens, particularly families who own or have inherited property and may need support navigating legal, financial, or housing related challenges.
**We will expand to more areas of Harris County in the future**
You can get started by completing the Land and Legacy Project intake form or attending one of our community events or legal clinics. From there, you will be connected to the appropriate resources based on your needs.
Families may be connected to legal assistance, estate planning support, housing repair programs, property tax guidance, and other community based services that promote housing stability.
After completing the intake form or connecting at an event, you will be guided to the services that best match your situation and needs.
Many of the services and resources connected through this project are free or low cost. Some programs may have eligibility requirements or fees depending on the type of assistance needed.
