Homeownership Made Possible
We want to help more Houstonians own their own home. We acquire vacant, abandoned or damaged properties and facilitate the development of affordable new homes on them. Qualified homebuyers are able to obtain additional assistance from the City of Houston in order to purchase these homes with down payment assistance programs and the Houston Community Land Trust, which can help keep property taxes from rising too quickly so you can stay in your home.
Two Great Homeownership Programs To Choose From
You have the opportunity to qualify for one or both of our homeownership programs. With each program, you can find your new home at a affordable price – to find out which programs you qualify for, use the chart below:
