TSAHC Texas

Our programs target the housing needs of low-income families and other underserved populations who do not have acceptable housing options through conventional financial channels. It is our mission to address this critical and expanding need with initiatives such as first time home buyer grants and other down payment assistance programs. TSAHC provides a variety of affordable housing programs aimed at:

Helping affordable housing developers build better housing for working families

Helping homebuyers achieve the American dream of homeownership

Helping homeowners sustain homeownership and improve their financial situation

How we do it

As a nonprofit TSAHC leverages private donations with its authority to sell tax-exempt affordable housing bonds to fund our wide spectrum of housing programs. We also utilize program-related investments (PRIs) from foundations and financial institutions to help non-profit developers create affordable housing. Finally, property donations are critical to the success of TSAHC’s land bank services. By partnering with local nonprofit housing organizations, donated properties are redeveloped as affordable housing.

This unique revenue structure has enabled TSAHC to become one of Texas’ largest affordable housing providers, serving more and more low-income Texans each year.
