Spending some time with the City of Houston and HPD's budgets, policies, etc to look at where funding is being allocated for FY 2021 and came up with this visualization (shout out to the #DefundNYPD folks).
I looked at the FY21 budget as well as the combined actual budgets from FY14-19 and the numbers only differ slightly. HPD has an annual budget of about *$1 billion* divided up as shown here. With another 34M coming from Special Revenue Fund(s).
To make the comparisons in the first graphic, I looked through the city budget to find unexpected groupings of programs like combining Youth & Fam Services in the Neighborhoods budget w/ Children & Fam Services and Public Health Infrastructure in the Health Dept.
