  • Donate Properties

    Property donations are critical to the success of TSAHC’s Affordable Communities of Texas (ACT) Program.

    Using our unique statutory authority to own property tax-free, TSAHC acquires foreclosed and vacant properties from financial institutions or private individuals, and then partners with local housing developers to rehabilitate these properties and sell or lease them to low-income families. TSAHC relies on property donations to expand our ACT program and increase the supply of affordable housing in Texas.

    TSAHC accepts donations of many types of properties in various conditions, and will work with the donee to ensure they receive the appropriate charitable contribution credit on their taxes.

    If you are a financial institution or individual interested in donating property to TSAHC, please contact David Danenfelzer at 512-477-3562 or email [email protected].
