The Houston Center for Literacy is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas, focused on improving literacy across the city. Established in 1988 and operating as a 501(c)(3), it leads a coalition of literacy providers to strengthen the local literacy landscape by coordinating resources and programs through the Mayor’s Coalition for Literacy, which encompasses more than 150 literacy sites. The center aims to build a literate, prepared workforce by supporting literacy agencies, engaging the broader community, and connecting learners with the education they need for future opportunities. With a workforce spanning a modest size, the organization situates itself within education administration programs, serving a network of community-based providers to address low literacy and prepare residents for further education and employment.
