CARE Program
Caring About Residents Everywhere meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 12 noon till 1 p.m. at different apartment and sub-division communities for a luncheon. The program is designed to develop a working relationship between the managers, assistant managers, homeowner associations and the Humble Police Department in an effort to reduce crime in the residential communities throughout the City of Humble. The managers and association members who attend these meeting are given crime statistics for the properties in which they manage and maintain, as well as crime prevention materials. Different topics are discussed each month. It’s a great way to network, get involved and stay educated about what’s going on in our community.
