As thousands of airline passengers begin to touch down in Houston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport and the William P. Hobby Airport have revealed their newest amenities to meet high-volume needs, including a fully operational Terminal E at IAH and upgraded restrooms, officials said in a news release.

Two-minute impact: The Houston Airport System projects an estimated 4.5 million travelers from around the globe will land in Houston either as their destination or their connecting flight to another host city between June 12 and July 6, according to a news release.

This influx of passengers traveling through the city’s airways has prompted HAS officials to prepare accordingly with upgraded facilities and concessions, multilingual customer service and newly implemented fan activations in both of its airports.

The Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County released the results of the 2026 Point-in-Time Count & Survey, which involves volunteers counting the number of individuals experiencing homelessness over three days across Fort Bend, Harris, and Montgomery counties.

This year's count took place in mid-February, with the results being released June 12.

The results are in: The report found that a total of 3,321 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in February, with 2,051 being sheltered individuals and 1,270 being unsheltered individuals.

The majority of homeless individuals were accounted for in Harris County, with 53.9% of sheltered individuals and 35.8% of unsheltered individuals coming from the most populous county in Texas.

The numbers are consistent with the figures from the 2025 report, which showed that approximately 3,325 individuals were homeless across the three counties.

More information: Officials with the coalition also pointed out that this year's report expands beyond the PIT Count to include additional indicators such as year-round interactions with the homeless response system, housing stability outcomes and inflow.
