Houston's Quality of Life Coalition is an umbrella organization of business, civic, and charitable organizations.  This diverse group of organizations have missions that vary widely though all are in agreement about the importance and need for more parks, street trees and natural areas, fewer billboards, appropriately scaled signage, and no graffiti, litter or abandoned properties.  The Quality of Life Coalition works to affect policy and encourage change in order to implement the quality of life agenda to the benefit of those living in the Houston region.  We work with elected officials, private citizens, organizations and agencies to ensure adequate funding, sound planning, and appropriate implementation of the agenda items.  Collectively, these endorsing organizations are able to more effectively address issues than if they attempted to do so individually.  The Quality of Life Coalition is a 501(c)(6) organization and any organization or group can become involved.   There is no cost associated with endorsing the Quality of Life agenda, although voluntary contributions are appreciated.
