Mission & Focus Areas
TSAHC’s mission is to facilitate, preserve, and expand affordable housing opportunities for Texans. Its stated vision is that every Texan will have a place to call home.
The organization’s programs include fixed-rate mortgage loans and down payment assistance for eligible homebuyers, homebuyer education, and financing for the construction or improvement of housing. Through the Texas Housing Impact Fund, TSAHC provides short- and long-term loans for affordable rental and homeownership development. Its Texas Foundations Fund provides grants to nonprofit organizations for housing programs that assist very low-income households.
The 2025 grant list includes organizations working on home repairs, supportive housing, and housing counseling. For example, Habitat for Humanity of Smith County describes its mission as bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Katy Responds says it provides care and restoration services to help families return to their homes after disasters. Lufkin Neighborhood Strong describes its work as home repairs, accessibility modifications, and reconstruction for low-income, elderly, or disabled homeowners in East Texas. The Restoration Team says it provides critical home repairs to low-income families, and Houston Habitat for Humanity says it works to bring people together to build homes and communities and promote decent housing.
