Our History

The Houston Green Roof Coalition was established as an energetic response to the enthusiasm sparked at a local Grey to Green conference hosted by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities. Drawing inspiration from the event’s innovative concepts and collaborative atmosphere, the four founding members identified a pressing need for a strong, local network committed to advancing green infrastructure in Houston. The Coalition unites Professionals, Developers, and Advocates, cultivating a vibrant community dedicated to promoting and adopting green roof systems throughout the city.

Our Vision

At the core of the organization’s mission is the creation of a connected, collaborative environment where knowledge and resources are openly shared. The Houston Green Roof Coalition is dedicated to mapping and documenting existing green roofs across Houston, spotlighting successful projects and sharing valuable lessons learned. Furthermore, the Coalition is developing a comprehensive, practical guide to support developers in planning and executing green roof projects, making sustainable urban development more accessible and impactful for the entire community. Through advocacy and education, the Coalition works to ensure that green roofs are recognized as vital components in solving regional issues and promoting a healthier urban landscape.
