EHCEC is a Houston-based nonprofit serving East Harris County with a mission to improve quality of life through innovative, sustainable programs and services that empower men, women and youth. It concentrates its efforts on the communities of Channelview, Crosby, Galena Park, Jacinto City, North Shore, and Sheldon, a region home to more than 225,000 residents that lacks comprehensive services. The organization operates as a local provider of community development and social support activities intended to expand opportunities for residents. A notable recent development is a 2023 partnership with Chambers Limited to focus on quality-improvement initiatives for child care programs in the area. The organization has also collaborated with academic and public-sector partners in the past, such as the Baker Institute's work to translate early brain development research for parents.
