Every year, the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC) offers training courses to counselors within our Housing Connection network. These courses are available to any housing or counseling nonprofit, unit of local government, or community based organization that provide home buyer, financial education or affordable housing.
The 2026 Housing Connection training workshop is scheduled to take place September 28-October 2, 2026 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas - San Antonio Branch. TSAHC will offer the following instructor-led NeighborWorks courses:
