The funds were raised through a friendly competition between the two departments, called S.O.S. for Vets, with KPD winning the challenge by bringing in $14,000 of the total. KPD raised money through donations from local businesses as well as personal donations. “This challenge showed what can happen when our communities unite with a shared purpose,” a spokesperson for KPD said on its Facebook page in early August. “Every person who supported this effort made a difference in the lives of those who sacrificed so much for our country.” Camp Hope is a PTSD Foundation of America outreach facility located in Northwest Houston. Its mission us to address the “invisible wounds of war” and focuses on providing intensive peer support, mentoring, and healing opportunities for combat veterans and their families, as well as first responders.

Commuters in Katy’s rapidly-growing northwest quadrant will see some traffic relief, now that the temporary traffic signal at Clay Road and Katy Hockley Road is operational. The busy intersection currently serves three nearby Katy ISD campuses: Faldyn Elementary School and Haskett Junior High School (both on Clay Road just to the east) and Cross Elementary School to the west. The intersection will also eventually serve a portion of students in the Anniston neighborhood who will be zoned to the district’s new elementary school #49. The installation was completed by Harris County Precinct 4, which had pledged to have the signal ready by the start of the new school year. “As part of a long-term solution, Precinct 4 is also advancing the design of Clay Road, including improvements at this intersection, to increase roadway capacity and install a permanent traffic signal that will further enhance both safety and traffic flow,” a spokesperson for the precinct told the Katy Times in early May.
