Build Now. Build Strong. Build Texas.

Affordable housing strengthens communities by improving quality of life and positively impacting healthcare, transportation, and education. To preserve what makes Texas a great place to live and work, we must support strong policies that create affordable rental housing.

When I first came to this city, I was in a marraige that did fail. Everything was in his name. I didn’t have anything to call my own. As a single mother, I had a lot of hardships. I had to start all over to get back on my feet. If I didn’t get approved, I wouldn’t have a place to go. I would have had to live on the streets or with family members. Getting the keys to my own apartment with my own name with my kids. I felt successful. I felt at ease. I felt accomplished. I want to be a great mom. I want to be successful, not just for myself, but for my kids.

Affordable Housing is High Quality, Safe & Indistinguishable from New Market Rate Development
