List of HCOD Committees

BECOME A VOLUNTEER FOR THE HOUSTON COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES (HCOD) – Seated commissioners select committees they want to serve on that best fit their expertise and interests. Additional members of HCOD committees are drawn from community leaders, advocates and individuals who make a difference in the lives of individuals who cannot always speak for themselves and of those who can.
