ACT Land Bank Services

The Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created at the direction of the Texas Legislature to create affordable housing in Texas. Our Affordable Communities of Texas (ACT) program is a statewide land banking and land trust initiative which assists local nonprofit and governmental entities with the acquisition and redevelopment of distressed properties.

As part of the ACT Land Bank Program, we partner with housing organizations to redevelop properties which are sold or donated to TSAHC. In addition, TSAHC can help local governments manage local land banks and plan for new land bank efforts.

Benefits of our Texas land bank services include:

• Priority access to redevelop homes held by TSAHC’s statewide land bank
• Short or long –term tax exemption on properties
• Analysis of potential land bank sites to determine feasibility for redevelopment
• Consultation services to help plan and prepare for a local land banking initiative
• Property management and oversight of redevelopment by local partners/developers
• Assistance with building local nonprofit capacity for redevelopment activities
• Financial assistance and lines of credit to help smaller developers begin construction activities
