Dear Trinity / Houston Gardens Residents,

Set a new resolution for 2009:

Become a Home Owner!

Home Graphic

Home ownership gives you and your family a sense of stability and security and promotes strong neighborhoods. So, we are proud to announce that as of January 2009, Houston Hope has helped hundreds of families to own quality affordable homes in re-energized areas of the city. 

Houston Hope is Mayor Bill White's initiative to reinvest in several of Houston's historic neighborhoods through a combination of stabilizing activities such as coordinating public safety programs, rehabbing existing homes, providing quality new affordable homes, and improving infrastructure and drainage. As a participant of the Houston Hope initiative, qualified buyers in the targeted areas may receive up to $37,500 in down payment assistance.

We closed 130 homes in 2008 and provided $3.2 millions in down payment assistance. 

You can be the next home owner!!
