About HAUL
The Houston Area Urban League (HAUL) was organized in June 1968 as a nonprofit 501(c)3 agency. Affiliated with the United Way and National Urban League, HAUL advocates for and provides social services to disadvantaged people of all races, gender, age groups, and or disabilities. HAUL operates the following five (5) programs targeting residents in economically disadvantaged geographic areas in the Greater Houston areas: Education and Youth Development; Workforce and Economic Development; Workforce Training; Housing; and Health and Wellness Initiatives.
In that time, HAUL has moved the needle on educational policy, criminal justice reform, affordable housing, economic growth, and health & wellness awareness.

The mission of the Houston Area Urban League is to enable African Americans and other minorities to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights.
