The Houston Area Urban League is a non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas, founded in 1968. It operates as a community-based affiliate of the National Urban League and is part of the broader non-profit sector focused on advocacy and direct services aimed at addressing economic self-reliance, civil rights, and access to opportunities for African-Americans and other minorities. The organization pursues its mission through a combination of advocacy for equal access to education, housing, economic and workforce development, and through direct programs delivered by a professional staff, with governance provided by a local board of directors. Serving a diverse community, the League emphasizes improving outcomes for disadvantaged residents regardless of age, sex, race, or background, and acts as a local anchor within the United Way network. A recent development involves continued programmatic activity under its established framework, led by President & CEO Judson W. Robinson III, and guided by a 40-member board.
