HOUSTON, TX —The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) is pleased to announce that its Houston area communities — The Woodlands Hills®, an award-winning master planned community, and Bridgeland®, the No. 1 selling master planned community in Texas — will each launch its Fall Giving Drive on September 1, lasting all month.

During a time of record home sales, the charitable effort gives homebuyers the opportunity to make a positive impact in the Greater Houston region while finding a new home.
Since inception, The Howard Hughes Corporation has been an active philanthropist in the Greater Houston area, donating annually to over 130 causes of local non-profit organizations.
