Welcome to Houston Deaf Network!
It’s time, friends and foes! A time to rise up, unite resources, build support, educate and especially be “heard” by those who live in Houston. Although Houston is the 4th largest city in the US, we have yet to see a central hub where Houstonians can find a variety of useful information in one place. HoustonDeafNetwork.com will do its best to fill in the missing gaps and help you fulfill your needs. But wait, there’s more than just providing you information…
Houston is unique and you’re probably wondering what makes Houston so different. Some interesting facts about Houston include: there are more than 500 cultural, visual and performing arts organizations, 90 of which are devoted to multicultural and minority arts and is one of five U.S. cities that offer year-round resident companies in all major performing arts; more than 90 languages are spoken throughout the Houston area; Houston ranks second in employment growth rate and fourth in nominal employment growth among the 10 most populous metro areas in the U.S. Also, in 2006, the Houston metropolitan area ranked first in Texas and third in the U.S. within the category of “Best Places for Business and Careers” by Forbes magazine. You can find a lot more interesting facts about Houston here!
All those things are great to know, but what if you want to get together with those who have something in common with you? Well, we also include a variety of social activities for anyone to participate. We have Deaf Professional Happy Hour Houston, American Sign Language Social, Deaf Chat Coffee, Deaf Paws, a wide variety of sports and possibly more. As you can see, there are a lot of things you can do in Houston. It is our goal to provide you all the necessary resources and provide a wide variety of available entertainment, regardless of any physical limitation you may have.
We want to take this opportunity to say thanks to our contributors who took time out of their busy lives to make this possible. We all truly believe that building deaf community will not only strengthen the bonds of deaf people, but also provide an easy way to experience all that Houston has to offer. Want to know how you can participate? Simply click here to learn how you can be a part of the team! Anyone can be a part of our community by submitting any information about the greater Houston area you think may be helpful to others. It’s easy and FREE!
Let’s build the community and seize the day!
