We're excited to announce that our 2025 Annual Report, which highlights our accomplishments from last year, is now available.
In this most recent report, we highlight our impact across Texas through the programs that were created to open doors to new possibilities. Below are a few of the stories featured in the report.
Keith and Karel Halbert lost their home and many of their belongings in the July 4th floods that ravaged Central Texas. They had been living in an RV in Ingram when, in the early morning hours of July 4th, a first responder pounded on their door, letting them know they had only four minutes to evacuate. While they escaped unharmed, they were forced to relocate to a hotel, but as the cost of lodging climbed higher and higher, they knew this wasn’t sustainable.
Through a partnership with the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Connective, TSAHC was able to provide the Halberts with a $175,000 grant in down payment assistance to help them purchase a new home of their own. Their disaster case manager Beth Palmer walked them through the entire process, and John Hudson with H&M Mortgage helped them apply for the assistance from TSAHC.

Nidia Ortiz has made Rollins Martin Apartments her home for the past 15 years. She loves the neighborhood and its proximity to downtown Austin where she works cleaning office buildings. She knows all the neighbors and even recommended Rollins Martin to another friend, who will be moving in soon.
“Having an affordable rent I can count on has been life changing for our family. I was able to raise three daughters in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and am now able to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a medical assistant, all because I don’t have to worry about how I am going to pay rent.”
-Nidia Ortiz, Rollins Martin Tenant

TSAHC partnered with DMA Companies to develop the Park on 14th as part of our Affordable Communities of Texas land banking program. The community features 62 apartments, with the majority reserved for households earning up to 80% of the area median income. The thoughtful design promotes energy efficiency, including HVAC and mechanical systems, allowing tenants to save energy and lower utility bills.
The development costs were approximately $17,200,000 with the bulk of financing provided by a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development loan and equity from TSAHC. Located in the highly walkable neighborhood of Kendrick, the community is within walking distance of Plano’s downtown DART station and adjacent to the city’s historic downtown commercial district.

Lytrecia and her two teenagers are residents of one of the Hope Through Housing Foundation’s (HTHF) communities in Humble, where she is a regular participant in their on-site programs for residents. She has received budgeting and savings books, a savings binder, a monthly income/bill payment book, bags of groceries, laundry and cleaning supplies, and other household items.
As the head of a household that has multiple members that are affected by medical challenges, Lytrecia has repeatedly expressed her gratitude for the programming, supplies, and community support that she has received from HTHF.
"I am truly grateful for the support I have received. The classes here have helped me during difficult times. Thank you for helping me when I needed it most."
– Lytrecia, Hope Through Housing Foundation client

Every other year, TSAHC steps away from the Texas Supportive Housing Institute to host its Permanent Supportive Housing Symposium.
The Symposium serves as a forum for developers, property managers, service providers, homelessness response organizations, and other health and housing professionals to share best practices and exchange lessons learned in the supportive housing space.
TSAHC hosted its second Permanent Supportive Housing Symposium on November 4th and 5th, 2025 alongside a tour of supportive housing developments around Austin and a Permanent Supportive Housing Academy training which was offered in partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing.
