Providing Stability. Fostering Community

Texas is facing an affordability crisis that threatens the core workforce in cities like Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond. Educators, first responders, hospitality employees, and other middle-income individuals essential to these cities' livability are increasingly unable to afford housing. Without swift action to preserve affordable housing for middle-income families, these cities risk following the path of places like San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston, where exorbitant rents and soaring living costs have made it nearly impossible for core employees to live where they work.
