At TSAHC, we consider our funders to be partners in our mission to serve the housing needs of low-income Texans. We take pride in our track record of putting our investors’ funds to efficient and effective use. TSAHC currently offers the following investment opportunities. For more information on any of these giving opportunities, please contact Katie Howard Claflin or Laura Ross.
Through our Texas Housing Impact Fund, TSAHC provides short-term and long-term loans to housing developers seeking to build affordable housing in their communities. TSAHC provides flexible loan rates that can be combined with other sources of financing, which assists affordable housing developers facing insufficient credit availability in traditional markets.
How will my investment be used? TSAHC uses program revenue and private funding, including grants, donations, and program-related investments, to provide loans to local housing developers. Your investment in the Texas Housing Impact Fund will help TSAHC help a local developer create affordable housing for low-income families in Texas.
ACT is Texas’ first statewide land bank and land trust program. Through ACT, we acquire foreclosed and vacant properties from financial institutions, and then partner with local housing developers to turn these properties into affordable housing for working families.
How will my investment be used? Your investment will be used to purchase foreclosed properties from financial institutions and/or pay for maintenance costs until these properties can be sold or leased to low-income families.

Through our Housing Connection, we help affordable housing and counseling organizations access trainings, promote themselves, build capacity as well as provide a network where best practices can be shared.
How will my investment be used? Your donation will help provide education to nonprofits that prepare Texas families for homeownership.
As the only training of its kind in Texas, the Institute educates and supports housing developers as they implement the most effective intervention for residents experiencing homelessness which is the creation of service-enriched, deeply affordable supportive housing for their communities.
How will my investment be used? Your support will enable us to deliver the highest-quality training available and a collaborative learning environment that is critically important to our collective mission to house Texas’ most vulnerable populations.
