Housing and Economic Assistance to Rebuild Texas (HEART) Program

The HEART program, created by the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC) and Enterprise Community Partners, provides grants of up to $50,000 and technical assistance to nonprofits providing housing assistance to families displaced or otherwise affected by Hurricane Harvey. The HEART Program is funded through generous grants from the Rebuild Texas Fund,* the Meadows Foundation, and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.

Grants are available in two categories. Organizations may apply for both categories, but award amounts are capped at $50,000 per organization.

• Housing Repairs such as mold remediation, roof repairs, replacing broken windows and doors, repairing electrical systems, and fixing cracked pipes and foundation issues caused by flooding.
• Programming such as case management and supportive housing services; financial counseling; donation centers; long-term planning efforts inclusive of resilient and green building practices.

*NOTE* As of June 1, 2019, we are no longer accepting applications for programming grants.
