A Big Thank You to Texas Capital Bank
TSAHC would like to extend our gratitude to Texas Capital Bank for their very generous $50,000 grant to support the Texas Supportive Housing Institute, which provides nonprofit developers with information, resources, and tools to create successful permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects in their communities.

With this grant, Texas Capital Bank is supporting the training and technical assistance provided by the 2022 Institute, as well as efforts made by the development teams to establish PSH projects in their communities.

A Recap of the 2021 Texas Supportive Housing Institute
The Texas Supportive Housing Institute (Institute) is a collaborative effort between TSAHC and the Corporation for Supportive Housing, designed to promote the development of permanent supportive housing (PSH) by providing development teams with the training and tools they need to build successful PSH developments in their local communities.
