Department of Neighborhoods
Making Government More Accessible
The Department of Neighborhoods has six divisions that make it easier for residents to participate in government and engage on a neighborhood and citywide level. We create positive change working in collaboration with communities and connecting residents to programs and services which solve problems.
The Inspections and Public Service division of the Department of Neighborhoods has moved to the Houston Public Works Department and is now Community Code Enforcement. Please contact Houston Public Works’ Community Code Enforcement division at www.houstontx.gov/ips.
About the Director
Director Herbert Sims was appointed by Mayor John Whitmire in April 2024. He has worked for the city for over two decades in the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Neighborhoods.
