Bringing Home Into Focus
TSAHC 2016 Annual Report
|
|
Our latest Annual Report entitled "Bringing Home Into Focus" is now available on our web site.
Since 1994, we have been creating housing opportunities for deserving Texans by implementing successful programs, developing valuable partnerships, leveraging resources and adapting to changes in the industry.
As you will see in the report, one thing has remained the same -- our focus on creating safe, decent and affordable housing for low and moderate-income Texans.
We are honored to have assisted so many families in 2016 and are continually proud of our collaborations with housing industry professionals that make these accomplishments possible.
